Summary:
Snakes exhibit various gait patterns in response to the environment. To elucidate the mechanism underlying this ability of snakes, we previously proposed a model based on autonomous decentralized control. Although it could reproduce various gait patterns, it could not reproduce concertina locomotion, which is a typical gait pattern in narrow aisles. In this study, we added a local reflexive mechanism to our previous model and successfully simulated concertina locomotion in a narrow aisle.
