The Soft Robot Is Written, Simulated and Rewritten
PneuGen's designer and critic agents search pneumatic geometries through validated programs and reusable physical response models.
Summary
PneuGen's designer and critic agents search pneumatic geometries through validated programs and reusable physical response models.
PneuGen represents soft pneumatic robots as design programs built from a parametric component library. A designer agent proposes geometries, a critic interprets simulation diagnostics, and fitted response models supply physical priors before finite-element evaluation. The authors report that the system outperformed compared computational optimization baselines on grasping and shape-matching tasks, with ablations supporting contributions from both the critic and response model. They also fabricated and tested generated designs, turning the result into a physical co-design demonstration rather than a simulation-only claim.
