Computational robot design and customization

Abstract

This special issue of Robotica features papers that describe computational approaches to robot design and customization. The field of robotics has been evolving from one where experts carefully craft individual robots to meet specific applications to one where robots are generated algorithmically. This paradigm shift promises to dramatically increase the design space of realizable robots and reduce the time and expertise needed to create them. The four papers in this special issue represent recent advances in this area, spanning different types of robots and addressing various aspects of the design and manufacturing pipeline.
