Co-optimized volumetric muscle design for large dynamic deformations in versatile biohybrid robots

Biohybrid robots use engineered living muscle tissue as actuators, offering self-organization, adaptability, and self-healing. Current designs focus on improving muscle physiology but overlook the interplay between muscle and scaffold in the robot’s function. We present a computational and experimental pipeline to co-o...

Orientation Control of Soft Robots via Adiabatic Spectral Submanifolds

Soft robots are commonly sought for safety-critical interactions in delicate environments, where accurate position and orientation control is imperative. Model predictive control (MPC) offers a solution, but it requires a model of the robot's infinite-dimensional nonlinear dynamics that is at once accurate and computat...

All You Need Is Low Fidelity: Zero-Shot Sim-to-Real of Learned Robotic Fish Control

Complex tasks for underwater robots remain limited by the capabilities of their controllers. Learning a better one for a soft, underactuated robotic fish trades simulator cost against fidelity. We show that an intentionally low-fidelity simulator is enough: a stateless, quasi-steady fluid model with no wake and no adde...
