Approximate Data Driven Parallel Shape Matching for Soft Body Physics Simulations

2019 International Artificial Intelligence and Data Processing Symposium (IDAP), 2019
We propose an algorithm that is fully parallel and has linear time complexity for soft body simulation that addresses three principal issues; Visual Quality, Performance and Ease of use. It works using the power of precomputed collision result look-up data and basic approach of shape matching.

Design of a soft upper body robot for physical human-robot interaction

2015 IEEE-RAS 15th International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Humanoids), 2015
To physically interact with children, a robot should be safe and durable. We have developed a small toy sized robot with a soft skin that is robust to playful physical interaction. The upper body, including the arms, pelvis, chest and back has soft, 3D printed air-filled modules connected to pressure sensors to sense contact and provide protection to ...

Clothing Adjustments for Concealed Soft Body Armor During Moderate Physical Exertion

Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 2015
Previous research has studied the impact of Level II concealed soft body armor (SBA) on the augmentation of heat storage in a hot environment simulating a typical summer day in the southeastern United States (wet bulb globe temperature [WBGT] = 30°C) and noted a significant difference between macro- and micro-WBGTs.

Implicit Physics-aware Policy for Dynamic Manipulation of Rigid Objects via Soft Body Tools

open access: yes2025 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA)
Recent advancements in robot tool use have unlocked their usage for novel tasks, yet the predominant focus is on rigid-body tools, while the investigation of soft-body tools and their dynamic interaction with rigid bodies remains unexplored. This paper takes a pioneering step towards dynamic one-shot soft tool use for manipulating rigid objects, a ...

Undulatory Swimming Performance and Body Stiffness Modulation in a Soft Robotic Fish-Inspired Physical Model

Soft Robotics, 2017
Undulatory motion of the body is the dominant mode of locomotion in fishes, and numerous studies of body kinematics and muscle activity patterns have provided insights into the mechanics of swimming. However, it has not been possible to investigate how key parameters such as the extent of bilateral muscle activation affect propulsive performance due to

Lack of association between television viewing, soft drinks, physical activity and body mass index in children

Acta Paediatrica, 2008
AbstractObjective: To examine the cross‐sectional and longitudinal associations of physical activity, screen time and dietary habits on the body mass index (BMI) of children.Methods: A cohort of 122 girls and 146 boys (age at entry 10 years) from three rural states in the western USA was studied over an 18‐month period.

Sugar intake, soft drink consumption and body weight among British children: Further analysis of National Diet and Nutrition Survey data with adjustment for under-reporting and physical activity

International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition, 2007
We investigated associations between body mass index (BMI) and intake of non-milk extrinsic sugars (NMES) and caloric soft drinks using weighed 7-day food records, nutrient intakes, BMI measurements and 7-day physical activity (PA) diaries from the UK National Dietary and Nutritional Survey of Young People (n=1,294 aged 7-18 years).

Body fat is related to poor motor skills and physical fitness in socially assisted children and adolescents regardless of age, sex, and lean soft tissue

Clinical Nutrition ESPEN
To analyze the relationship between body fat (BF), motor skills, and physical fitness in children and adolescents.In total, 216 children and adolescents (143 males and 73 females, aged 5-15 years) from a social project composed this study. Body mass and height were measured to calculate the body mass index (BMI). DXA was used to estimate the percentage

Solving Voxelized Deformable Soft Bodies with Physics-Informed Neural Networks

This thesis explores the integration of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) and Interaction Networks (INs) to simulate voxelized deformable soft-body systems, aiming to bridge the gap between computational efficiency and physical fidelity. The work begins with a theoretical overview of both PINNs and INs, followed by the development of a hybrid ...
