Biological snakes, with an elongated, legless and lithe body, can adapt to complex and varied environments. Snake robots, which are developed by imitating the characteristics of biological snakes, can work in various circumstances, such as a disaster site and large scale plant. In this research, we propose new locomotion that snake robots could move in crowded pipes by thread motion. In this paper, we present a basic idea of the thread motion. We also conduct some experiments to verify the effective of the motion.
