A Multi-soft-body Dynamic Model for Underwater Soft Robots
We present a unified formulation for describing the dynamics of a new class of aquatic multi-body soft robots. This formulation accounts for the continuum hyperelastic nature of the vehicles and for the interaction with the dense fluid across which they dwell. We start by introducing the highly unconventional design concept of a soft underwater vehicle inspired by the octopus capable of swimmin...
متن کاملSoft Components for Soft Robots
Typical robot platforms comprise rigid links with fixed degrees-offreedom, solid blocks of transmission and actuator, and superficial positioning of sensors: they are often optimized for the given design criteria but are unable to execute instantaneous changes to the robot's initial mechanism design. The reallife incidences, however, require robots to face complex situations filled with unprogr...
متن کاملBody/Brain Co-Evolution in Soft Robots
Autonomous Robots have achieved considerable results in a wide variety of domains, from the depths of the ocean to the surface of Mars, and yet many vital locations, particularly collapsed buildings and mines, remain largely inaccessible. In light of recent natural disasters in Haiti and Chile, there is a compelling need for more versatile and robust search and rescue robots. Imagine, for insta...
متن کاملHierarchical Multi-resolution Finite Element Model for Soft Body Simulation
The complexity of most surgical models has not allowed interactive simulations on standard computers. We propose a new framework to finely control the resolution of the models. This allows us to dynamically concentrate the computational force where it is most needed. Given the geometrical model of an object to simulate, we first compute a bounding box and then recursively subdivide it where nee...
متن کاملSoft robots
That does sound stressful. It is. And it is getting worse. When I started out, I wrote a total of 17 proposals to different agencies before I obtained funding. But that was back when the funding levels were reasonable — with paylines at the 20–30% level, and you could resubmit twice. When I finally did get funding, I barely made the cutoff, and that on my third try. Now the paylines are signifi...
