Environmental resilience via morphological diversity within machines
Alice Hein, Josh Bongard
Organisms contain diverse, sensorimotor parts across size scales and rapidly adapt to new environments, while machines contain only inert materials at smaller scales and struggle w…
Scale invariant robot behavior with fractals
Sam Kriegman, Amir Mohammadi Nasab, Douglas Blackiston +4
Robots deployed at orders of magnitude different size scales, and that retain the same desired behavior at any of those scales, would greatly expand the environments in which the r…
Scalable sim-to-real transfer of soft robot designs
Sam Kriegman, Amir Mohammadi Nasab, Dylan Shah +5
The manual design of soft robots and their controllers is notoriously challenging, but it could be augmented---or, in some cases, entirely replaced---by automated design tools. Mac…
Sim2real gap is non-monotonic with robot complexity for morphology-in-the-loop flapping wing design
Kent Rosser, Jia Kok, Javaan Chahl +1
Morphology of a robot design is important to its ability to achieve a stated goal and therefore applying machine learning approaches that incorporate morphology in the design space…
Automated shapeshifting for function recovery in damaged robots
Sam Kriegman, Stephanie Walker, Dylan Shah +3
A robot's mechanical parts routinely wear out from normal functioning and can be lost to injury. For autonomous robots operating in isolated or hostile environments, repair from a…
