RobotSketch: An Interactive Showcase of Superfast Design of Legged Robots

Abstract

Robots consisting of many articulated parts performing complex movements are challenging to design. We showcase an interactive system for exploring shapes and structures of robots through 3D sketching, generating plausible movements of robots through AI, and reviewing and refining them in VR. Such immersive prototyping in the early stages can help reduce the time and cost associated with trial and error in later stages, contributing to shortening and streamlining of the robot development process.
