Abstract
We have examined a locomotion mechanism of a snail which is a terrestrial mollusk on a level surface, and made clear of mechanism of locomotion by generating pedal waves with contraction of sole muscle. In this report, the locomotion mechanism of a snail was experimentally investigated in the case of its crawling on a ground with a gap. It was found that the mechanism of pedal locomotion on the irregular ground was the same as that on the level one.
