SoRoTop: a hitchhiker’s guide to topology optimization MATLAB code for design-dependent pneumatic-driven soft robots
Prabhat Kumar
Abstract:Demands for pneumatic-driven soft robots are constantly rising for various applications. However, they are often designed manually due to the lack of systematic methods. Moreover, designdependent characteristics of pneumatic actuation pose distinctive challenges. This paper provides a compact MATLAB code, named SoRoTop, and its various extensions for designing pneumatic-driven soft robots using topology optimization. The code uses the method of moving asymptotes as the optimizer and builds upon the approach in… Show more
