"Biologically Inspired Robots: Serpentile Locomotors and Manipulators" by Hirose, Shigeo



Please email me if you have a copy that you can sell.

I have some links marked for tracking down used books, but they don't turn up Hirose's book ... a local university library may be your best bet ...

Also includes links to Hirose's home site with some theory ...
