Simulation of Soft Bodied Robots: Methods, Benefits, and Potential Applications
Frank James SaundersCreating robots comprised of highly deformable components is a relatively new area of study. These soft robots can potentially deform through spaces smaller than their original cross section, traverse varying landscapes, and be manufactured with relative ease when compared to rigid platforms. Such varied potential capabilities make soft robots extremely valuable for missions involving covert access, disaster recovery, and biomedical applications. However, little previous work has been done on creating soft robots able to produce dependable locomotion.
