Objetivo The aim of the EMISSR project is to create a novel multibody dynamics simulator for soft robotics. The originality of theproject consists in a unified constraint based formulation that can couple rigid and flexible bodies in the same solver. Theargument behind a simulator for soft robotics is the fact that traditional robots are not suitable for working in humans andtheir control has proven daunting especially for nonlinear underactuated systems. The new field of soft robotics is seeinggreat growth and investment around the globe and Europe needs to seize this economic opportunity. New dynamicssimulations and control algorithms are needed for soft robots, that are made up of soft parts and biology inspired actuators.EMISSR wants to fill in this gap and aims to become a testbed for training control policies based on machine learning andother algorithms. In terms of performance and accuracy, EMISSR will be a high-fidelity interactive simulator, meaning that itwill be extremely fast due to its multilevel solver and parallel implementation, while not sacrificing much of the accuracyneeded for soft robotics applications. The frictional contact and deformable continua models will not make any unphysicalapproximations. The elements that will distinguish EMISSR from other existing projects are: two-way coupling of rigid andsoft bodies, a fast multilevel iterative solver, stability for high mass ratios and transversal oscillations and robust contactinformation generation. These will be applied to making virtual replicas of soft robots (e.g. soft body parts, artificial musclesand tendons, pneumatic tubes), simulating their dynamics and testing machine learning based control policies for largenumbers of degrees of freedom. At the same time, the training programme that UCPH offers matches my careerdevelopment needs perfectly, allowing me to build upon my current competencies, not forgetting the opportunity to enhancemy academic profile and teaching experience.
