The Soft Compiler: A Web-Based Tool for the Design of Modular Pneumatic Circuits for Soft Robots

Developing soft circuits from individual logic gates poses a unique challenge: with increasing numbers of gates, the design and implementation lead to inefficiencies due mathematically unoptimized wiring mistakes during assembly. It is therefore practically important introduce tools that support development circuits. We developed web-based graphical user interface, the Soft Compiler , accepts user-defined robot behavior as truth table generate optimized circuit diagram guides assembly fluidic circuit. describe experimental verification three complexity, using Compiler tool novel pneumatic glove an input interface. In one example, we reduce size original 11 4 while maintaining functionality. The for fluidic, published under open-source MIT License.
