Ergodic coverage provides a robust framework for generating exploratory behaviors in embodied agents by aligning the spatial distribution of an agent’s trajectory with a target distribution. However, solving this optimization problem is challenging due to the need to minimize the difference between…
Closed-loop control remains an open challenge in soft robotics. The nonlinear responses of soft actuators under dynamic loading conditions limit the use of analytic models for soft robot control. Traditional methods of controlling soft robots underutilize their configuration spaces to avoid nonlinea
Operating multi-robot teams of diverse agents is an ongoing challenge for emergency deployments, where inter-agent connectivity is rare and environments are unpredictable. Heterogeneous systems must be capable of adapting autonomously while maintaining safety. Here, we develop an algorithm for heter
