Overview
Overview
Design of soft robots involves many choices spanning materials, actuators, sensors, and geometric and force considerations. Often, these choices are made heuristically with no systematic framework. A heuristic-based design approach can lead to significant time spent iterating on hardware, incur extra costs, material waste, and lead to underperforming robots.
This workshop will highlight existing design optimization (inverse design) methodologies for soft robots, and provide a forum for discourse on how to approach soft robotics with systematic design thinking.
Key questions include:
Are the same design pipelines for conventional mechanisms applicable to soft robots?
Can we leverage knowledge from other domains for soft robotics?
What are trade-offs in deterministic vs. non deterministic methods?
How can we mitigate the Sim2Real gap?
