论文摘要
基于体素的软机器人（VSR）是软块的聚集，其设计与优化相应。我们在这里提出了一个软件，即2D-VSR-SIM，用于促进有关VSRS身体和大脑优化的研究。该软件用Java编写的软件为所有VSR方面提供了一致的接口，该方面适合通过设计感应的存在，即，从环境中利用反馈来控制VSR来进行优化和考虑。从机械的角度来看，我们在实验上表征了可以使用2D-VSR-SIM模拟的VSR，我们讨论了模拟的计算负担。最后，我们展示了如何使用2D-VSR-SIM来重复重要的先前研究的实验，并从角度地为各种研究问题提供实验答案。
Voxel-based soft robots (VSRs) are aggregations of soft blocks whose design is amenable to optimization. We here present a software, 2D-VSR-Sim, for facilitating research concerning the optimization of VSRs body and brain. The software, written in Java, provides consistent interfaces for all the VSRs aspects suitable for optimization and considers by design the presence of sensing, i.e., the possibility of exploiting the feedback from the environment for controlling the VSR. We experimentally characterize, from a mechanical point of view, the VSRs that can be simulated with 2D-VSR-Sim and we discuss the computational burden of the simulation. Finally, we show how 2D-VSR-Sim can be used to repeat the experiments of significant previous studies and, in perspective, to provide experimental answers to a variety of research questions.
