Query: Reality-assisted evolution of soft robots through large-scale physical
  experimentation: a review   In this review we introduce the framework of reality-assisted evolution to
summarize a growing trend towards combining model-based and model-free
approaches to improve the design of physically embodied soft robots. In silico,
data-driven models build, adapt and improve representations of the target
system using real-world experimental data. By simulating huge numbers of
virtual robots using these data-driven models, optimization algorithms can
illuminate multiple design candidates for transference to the real world. In
reality, large-scale physical experimentation facilitates the fabrication,
testing and analysis of multiple candidate designs. Automated assembly and
reconfigurable modular systems enable significantly higher numbers of
real-world design evaluations than previously possible. Large volumes of
ground-truth data gathered via physical experimentation can be returned to the
virtual environment to improve data-driven models and guide optimization.
Grounding the design process in physical experimentation ensures the complexity
of virtual robot designs does not outpace the model limitations or available
fabrication technologies. We outline key developments in the design of
physically embodied soft robots under the framework of reality-assisted
evolution.
