Title
Automatic Design of Task-specific Robotic Arms.
Abstract
We present an interactive, computational design system for creating custom robotic arms given high-level task descriptions and environmental constraints. Various task requirements can be encoded as desired motion trajectories for the robot armu0027s end-effector. Given such end-effector trajectories, our system enables on-demand design of custom robot arms using a library of modular and reconfigurable parts such as actuators and connecting links. By searching through the combinatorial set of possible arrangements of these parts, our method generates a functional, as-simple-as-possible robot arm that is capable of tracking the desired trajectories. We demonstrate our systemu0027s capabilities by creating robot arm designs in simulation, for various trajectory following scenarios.
