Abstract
Simulating a soft robot model is challenging because of large deformations and lots of degrees of freedom. In this study, a novel fast simulation framework for soft robots is created using reduced order extended position-based dynamics technique. This framework is helpful for configuration design and motion verification. The soft robot model is built using strain constraints, and the reduced order matrix is created by linear modes and modal derivatives. It simplifies the creation of models and improves the efficiency of the reduced order matrix construction. To verify the feasibility of the present method, soft robots with various actuation and material combinations are simulated. The results also agree well with both the physical experiments and the finite element analysis.
