Designing soft robots is difficult, time-consuming, and nonintuitive. Soft robot design faces two main challenges: structure and control. This research uses generative encodings to grow structures and a vibrational mechanism to control locomotion. In this paper, we demonstrate the ability to successfully evolve soft robots that can move when vibrated. Soft bodies are grown through a grammatical process and simulated in the Bullet physics engine. We also briefly outline a method of evolving scalable solutions that we are currently investigating. It should be capable of generating soft robots of various sizes that can move when vibrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
