Abstract in brief

  • The text discusses a strategy for controlling soft multistable robots by discretizing their complex, infinite configuration space into a manageable number of functional modes with programmed behaviors, making control more feasible.
  • It introduces an energy-based analytical model to capture the robot's responses and uses a recursive feature elimination process to optimize parameters, enabling the inverse design of the robot's morphology and tasks based on desired dynamics.
  • The approach demonstrates how this method can be used to design soft robots with specific functions like object classification and adaptable movement, leveraging mechanical intelligence and multistability to simplify control without relying heavily on feedback systems.]
