This work investigates direction control and path following of a 3-D snake-like robot. In order to control such robots accurately, this work researches the relationships between its phase offsets of pitch joints and directions. A new direction control method is proposed for the robot based on these relationships. An adaptive path-following algorithm based on the line-of-sight guidance law is proposed and combined with the direction control method to steer the robot to move forward and along desired paths. Simulation and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the performances of the proposed 3-D model and control methods. They well outperform the classical and commonly used path-following method.
