| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research proposal introduces a novel approach for developing a class of soft robots that can actively self-configure their body (i.e., morphology) to allow adaptation with respect to internal and external varied factors. The core idea is to integrate proprioceptive feedback driven by morphology-dependent features (geometrical/material properties) into the control loop. To achieve this, a platform of multi-physics simulation and learning-based techniques seeking for optimal morphology transformation strategy to accommodate various critical conditions will be established.
