Soft robot development could benefit from an algorithm that optimizes sensor placement allowing such machines to better ‘understand’ their environments. Ph.D. students in the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), Alexander Amini and Andrew Spielberg, have developed an algorithm to assist engineers with sensor placement to optimize soft robotics designs.
