gradSim: Differentiable simulation for system identification and visuomotor control

ICLR 2021poster

In this paper, we tackle the problem of estimating object physical properties such as mass, friction, and elasticity directly from video sequences. Such a system identification problem is fundamentally ill-posed due to the loss of information during image formation. Current best solutions to the pro…

A Validated Physical Model For Real-Time Simulation of Soft Robotic Snakes

ICRA 2019poster

In this work we present a framework that is capable of accurately representing soft robotic actuators in a multiphysics environment in real-time. We propose a constraint-based dynamics model of a 1-dimensional pneumatic soft actuator that accounts for internal pressure forces, as well as the effect…

Data Driven Inverse Kinematics of Soft Robots using Local Models

ICRA 2019poster

Soft robots are advantageous in terms of flexibility, safety and adaptability. It is challenging to find efficient computational approaches for planning and controlling their motion. This work takes a direct data-driven approach to learn the kinematics of the three-dimensional shape of a soft robot,…
