Soft-Bodied Simulation: Energy of FabricWe will explain the method of simulating the free fall of fabric along with its in- teractions with the surrounding environment. Currently there are two main ways of simulating fabric. There is the spring mass method, this method uses particles to rep- ...
It is noticeable that when introducing AI into soft robotic systems, the soft robots can be good at self-learning, problem-solving and decision-making which are important features for self-regulating behaviors, and are qualified to be applied in the dynamic environment of the real world (Fig.1...
SoftCon is an open source code that implements the workSoftCon: Simulation and Control of Soft-Bodied Animals with Biomimetic Actuators. With our framework, user can generate the swimming animation of under-water animals with deformable body simulator, biomimetic muscle pattern generator, and swimming ...
This is biomechanically distinct from most of the soft-bodied terrestrial animals that crawl through stiff hydrostatic structures [32], [33]. By controlling the timing and location of this substrate attachment through their legs and prolegs, caterpillars can move forward by crawling, inching, or ...
and build a soft robot that utilizes shape change to achieve locomotion over both a flat and inclined surface. Modelling this robot in simulation, we explore its capabilities in two environments and demonstrate the existence of environment-specific shapes and gaits that successfully transfer to the ...
Magnetic soft robots have shown great potential for biomedical applications due to their high shape reconfigurability, motion agility, and multi-functionality in physiological environments. Magnetic soft robots with multi-layer structures can enhance the
Rus et al. developed an autonomous soft-bodied robotic fish hydraulically actuated by its soft tail made of two fluidic chambers (Figure 6I) (Katzschmann et al., 2016). The locomotion mechanisms of animals also inspired several designs of soft robots. Some deformation behaviors of soft ...
Soft-bodied animals, such as worms and snakes, use many muscles in different ways to traverse unstructured environments and inspire tools for accessing con... Y Dikici,K Daltorio,O Akkus - IOP Publishing Ltd 被引量: 0发表: 2024年 Multiscale Heterogeneous Polymer Composites for High Stiffness ...
Recent advances in soft materials enable robots to possess safer human-machine interaction ways and adaptive motions, yet there remain substantial challenges to develop universal driving power sources that can achieve performance trade-offs between actua
In addition, we describe the physical mechanisms of the soft mobile robot by a numerical simulation and reveal the relation between the mobility of the robot and the movement of the legs. Figure 1 Overlapped images of the mobile robot. The robot consists of the main body and two legs. The...
