An interactive online sandbox to play around with a kinematic model of snake-locomotion, with and without active frictional modulation.
🚀 The online sandbox can be seen here.
The numerical code (written in Python) powering the simulator can be found here.
An online, interactive simulator that provides intuition for the behavior of a snake as it adapts its gait in terrains of various nature.
