DESCRIPTION:Continuum mechanics provide accurate mechanical models for def
 ormable solids. Numerical tools\, like the Finite Element Methods (FEM)\, 
 solve the partial differential equations with the major drawback of being 
 time consuming. This presentation will show that there are some solutions 
 to make FEM models fast enough to be compatible with real-time simulation 
 and control methods\, that can be also mixed with learning approach. For s
 oft robotics\, this provides a very powerful tool to help the design and t
 he control\, in particular for complex interaction with the environment. W
 e will also show that this work can be mixed with more standard articulate
 d and rigid models. Finally we will present quickly our software platform 
 and the performance of this approach for modeling\, simulation and control
  of soft-robots.\n\nThe seminar will be held in LR5\, Baker Building\, Dep
 artment of Engineering\, and online (zoom): https://us06web.zoom.us/j/8798
