This article presents a new method to achieve heterogeneous physical simulation, within the same global system, of both deformable and rigid-bodies objects, whatever their intrins...
We review an algorithm for the finite element simulation of elastoplastic solids which is capable of robustly and efficiently handling arbitrarily large deformation. In fact, the ...
We describe crawling and jumping by a deformable robot. Locomotion over rough terrain has been achieved mainly by rigid body systems including crawlers and leg mechanisms. This pap...
Abstract— We describe circular/spherical robots for crawling and jumping. Locomotion over rough terrain has been achieved mainly by rigid body systems including crawlers and leg ...
