1. In the first month, we will port the Material Point Method to the AMD cluster. This will result in the creation of a series of videos showing hand-built robots, in silico, as a connected series of points, behaving in a virtual world.
2. In the second month we will wrap a gradient-based AI method around this MPM simulator, and demonstrate how it can propagate behavioral errors back through the simulator to fix errors in the shape and control of the robot.
3. In the final month we will show how the AI method can efficiently design these robots to perform a series of simple tasks, and demonstrate that some of these AI-designed robots could actually be fabricated, in reality, as xenobots built from frog tissues.
