A Soft Body Physics Simulator with Computational Offloading to the Cloud [PDF]
Information, 2018 We describe the gamification of a soft physics simulator. We developed a game, called Jelly Dude, that allows the player to change and modify the game engine by tinkering with various physics parameters, creating custom game levels and installing scripts.

Implicit neural representation for physics-driven actuated soft bodies [PDF]
ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2022 Active soft bodies can affect their shape through an internal actuation mechanism that induces a deformation. Similar to recent work, this paper utilizes a differentiable, quasi-static, and physics-based simulation layer to optimize for actuation signals parameterized by neural networks.

Differentiable Implicit Soft-Body Physics. [PDF]
, 2021 We present a differentiable soft-body physics simulator that can be composed with neural networks as a differentiable layer. In contrast to other differentiable physics approaches that use explicit forward models to define state transitions, we focus on implicit state transitions defined via function minimization.

PlasticineLab: A Soft-Body Manipulation Benchmark with Differentiable\n Physics [PDF]
, 2021 Simulated virtual environments serve as one of the main driving forces behind developing and evaluating skill learning algorithms. However, existing environments typically only simulate rigid body physics. Additionally, the simulation process usually does not provide gradients that might be useful for planning and control optimizations.

Unifying Rigid and Soft Bodies Representation: The Sulfur Physics Engine [PDF]
International Journal of Computer Games Technology, 2014 Video games are (also) real-time interactive graphic simulations: hence, providing a convincing physics simulation for each specific game environment is of paramount importance in the process of achieving a satisfying player experience. While the existing game engines appropriately address many aspects of physics simulation, some others are still in ...

Simulating Soft-Bodied Swimmers with Particle-Based Physics [PDF]
Soft Robotics, 2019 In swimming virtual creatures, there is often a disparity between the level of detail in simulating a swimmer's body and that of the fluid it moves in. To address this disparity, we have developed a new approach to modeling swimming virtual creatures using pseudo-soft bodies and particle-based fluids, which has sufficient realism to investigate a ...
