Seeking Quality Diversity in Evolutionary Co-design of Morphology and Control of Soft Tensegrity Modular Robots
Enrico Zardini, Davide Zappetti, Davide Zambrano +2
Designing optimal soft modular robots is difficult, due to non-trivial interactions between morphology and controller. Evolutionary algorithms (EAs), combined with physical simulat…
Evolutionary Co-Design of Morphology and Control of Soft Tensegrity Modular Robots with Programmable Stiffness
Davide Zappetti, Jean Marc Bejjani, Dario Floreano
Tensegrity structures are lightweight, can undergo large deformations, and have outstanding robustness capabilities. These unique properties inspired roboticists to investigate the…
Bio-inspired Tensegrity Soft Modular Robots
D. Zappetti, S. Mintchev, J. Shintake +1
In this paper, we introduce a design principle to develop novel soft modular robots based on tensegrity structures and inspired by the cytoskeleton of living cells. We describe a n…
