We are developing snake robots as a solution for inspection of plants. The snake robots are constructed by connecting pitch axis and a yaw axis alternately. The snake robots realize various locomotion mode. Especially, helical rolling motion is utilized to move inside and outside of a pipe. In this paper, designed and system of the snake robots are described in addition to experimental results conducted in test field of Tough Robotics Challenge.
