We have been investigating a crawling-like loco-motion robot to make it efficiently slide forward based on a simple system and control mechanisms on a slippery level surface, where the motion of the center of mass plays an important role. In this paper, we induce an effective motion of the center of mass considering a streamlined body shape of a locomotion robot in which a pendulum is installed. F...
