contents This paper presents an optimization-based motion planning methodology for snake robots operating in constrained environments. By using a reduced-order model, the proposed approach simplifies the planning process, enabling the optimizer to autonomously generate gaits while constraining the robot's footprint within tight spaces. The method is validated through high-fidelity simulations that accurately model contact dynamics and the robot's motion. Key locomotion strategies are identified and further demonstrated through hardware experiments, including successful navigation through narrow corridors.
