Robotic Simulation

Robot simulation is essential for real-world robotics, especially for soft robots in complex multiphysical environments, because it allows for safe, cost-effective testing and design iteration. Soft robots, which often operate in environments involving fluid dynamics, elasticity, and electromagnetic fields, require precise modeling of interactions between materials and their surroundings. Simulations can capture these dynamic behaviors in ways that are difficult to replicate in physical tests, allowing engineers to optimize designs without risking damage to expensive prototypes. Furthermore, simulation can accelerate development by enabling rapid testing across various scenarios, from underwater applications to surgical robotics, ensuring soft robots perform reliably before real-world deployment.
