Creating manufacturable blueprints for coarse-grained virtual robots
Zihan Guo, Muhan Li, Shuzhe Zhang +1
Over the past three decades, countless embodied yet virtual agents have freely evolved inside computer simulations, but vanishingly few were realized as physical robots. This is be…
Robots that redesign themselves through kinematic self-destruction
Chen Yu, Sam Kriegman
Every robot built to date was predesigned by an external process, prior to deployment. Here we show a robot that actively participates in its own design during its lifetime. Starti…
Agile legged locomotion in reconfigurable modular robots
Chen Yu, David Matthews, Jingxian Wang +4
Legged machines are becoming increasingly agile and adaptive but they have so far lacked the morphological diversity of legged animals, which have been rearranged and reshaped to f…
Accelerated co-design of robots through morphological pretraining
Luke Strgar, Sam Kriegman
The co-design of robot morphology and neural control typically requires using reinforcement learning to approximate a unique control policy gradient for each body plan, demanding m…
Generating Freeform Endoskeletal Robots
Muhan Li, Lingji Kong, Sam Kriegman
The automatic design of embodied agents (e.g. robots) has existed for 31 years and is experiencing a renaissance of interest in the literature. To date however, the field has remai…
