Interactive Octopus Tentacle
Our sim-to-real actuation research lets soft, continuum robots train across millions of iterations in simulation before acting in the physical world, including the extreme settings we build for, such as octopus-arm orbital servicing.
How it works
Click Run Code
Initialize the Pyodide WebAssembly engine to execute the python script.
Drag the targets
Click and drag any of the 4 glowing colored points. Each tentacle tracks its correspondingly colored target in real-time.
Watch it learn
Numerical gradient descent continually adjusts the tentacle's joints to minimize the distance to the target.
