Generative design technology for soft robot manipulators

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a generative design technology for a soft robot manipulator. A computer implementation method for generating a design for a continuum robot is to generate a first plurality of candidate designs for the continuum robot, and the first plurality of candidate designs. Each candidate design included is to generate based on a first set of values in a set of design parameters, and to determine a first performance value for each candidate design contained in the first plurality of candidate designs. A subset of candidate designs is selected from the first plurality of candidate designs, at least partially based on the first performance value, and a second plurality for continuous robots based on the subset of candidate designs. The generation of candidate designs, wherein each candidate design included in the second plurality of candidate designs is based on a second set of values of a set of design parameters.
