Recently, multiple locomotion gaits of snake has been realized by snake-like robots. For example, undulation propulsion, side winding propulsion and measuring worm propulsion are realized. In addition, a locomtion gait called "lateral rolling" that real snake does not achieve is realized. However, those previous locomotion gaits are limited on two-dimensional plane. In this study, we develop a snake-like robot that is constructed by assembling five units. One unit is composed by one pitch axis and one yaw axis, and can have two passive wheels. We realize previously presented locomotion gaits of snake with this robot. In addition, we realize cylinder climbing locomotion in three-dimensional plane that this robot coils itself to a cylinder and climbs it by lateral rolling.
