Abstract
Local controllability of a three link robotic snake is solved by means of 5D conformal geometric algebra. The non-holonomic kinematic equations are assembled, their role in the geometric control theory is discussed and the control solution is found. The functionality is demonstrated on a virtual model in CLUCalc programme. Finally, the snake robot dynamics is elaborated.
