Diverse and Adaptable Arm Coordination for Octopus-Crawling via Diffusion-Based Uncertainty-Aware Optimization

Seung Hyun Kim, Heng-Sheng Chang, Kimia Kazemi +2

Octopus crawling motivates soft robots that exploit redundancy, yet discovering and organizing diverse coordination modes for adaptation remains challenging. To address this, we in…

Elastica++: A high-performance, multiphysics framework for large interacting assemblies of Cosserat rods

Tejaswin Parthasarathy, Seung Hyun Kim, Songyuan Cui +1

Soft, slender structures are ubiquitous in natural and engineered systems, with broad application potential from biomimetic materials to soft robotics. However, there is a notable…

Computing with Living Neurons: Chaos-Controlled Reservoir Computing with Knowledge Transplant

Seung Hyun Kim, Zhi Dou, Gaurav Upadhyay +6

We introduce chaos-controlled Reservoir Computing (cc-RC) for living neural cultures: dynamically rich substrates of unique potential for adaptive computation. To account for intri…

Joint Surrogate Learning of Objectives, Constraints, and Sensitivities for Efficient Multi-objective Optimization of Neural Dynamical Systems

Frithjof Gressmann, Ivan Georgiev Raikov, Seung Hyun Kim +3

Gaussian process surrogates dominate constrained multi-objective optimization because they are effective in data-scarce regimes, but their cubic scaling in training samples limits…

Digital twins for the design, interactive control, and deployment of modular, fiber-reinforced soft continuum arms

Seung Hyun Kim, Jiamiao Guo, Arman Tekinalp +9

Soft continuum arms (SCAs) promise versatile manipulation through mechanical compliance, for assistive devices, agriculture, search applications, or surgery. However, the strong no…

A Neural Network-based Framework for Fast and Smooth Posture Reconstruction of a Soft Continuum Arm

Tixian Wang, Heng-Sheng Chang, Seung Hyun Kim +9

A neural network-based framework is developed and experimentally demonstrated for the problem of estimating the shape of a soft continuum arm (SCA) from noisy measurements of the p…

Topology, dynamics, and control of an octopus-analog muscular hydrostat

Arman Tekinalp, Noel Naughton, Seung-Hyun Kim +5

Muscular hydrostats, such as octopus arms or elephant trunks, lack bones entirely, endowing them with exceptional dexterity and reconfigurability. Key to their unmatched ability to…
