SoftZoo: A Soft Robot Co-design Benchmark For Locomotion In Diverse Environments
Tsun-Hsuan Wang, Pingchuan Ma, Andrew Everett Spielberg +5
While significant research progress has been made in robot learning for control, unique challenges arise when simultaneously co-optimizing morphology. Existing work has typically b…
Fast Aquatic Swimmer Optimization with Differentiable Projective Dynamics and Neural Network Hydrodynamic Models
Elvis Nava, John Z. Zhang, Mike Y. Michelis +5
Aquatic locomotion is a classic fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem of interest to biologists and engineers. Solving the fully coupled FSI equations for incompressible Navier…
Sim2Real for Soft Robotic Fish via Differentiable Simulation
John Z. Zhang, Yu Zhang, Pingchuan Ma +5
Accurate simulation of soft mechanisms under dynamic actuation is critical for the design of soft robots. We address this gap with our differentiable simulation tool by learning th…
