BEAST (Behavioural Extended Adaptive Scissor Transformer)

Beast Movement Status

The Beast moves in real time by sensing sunlight and people.

Physical Prototype of Beast 02

Prefabricated Assembly Design Interface

Used to customise the Beast interface. Users can pick and choose the components they need to generate a viable Beast.

Environmental Scan Result

Using radar scans, the Beast can store its environment as a point cloud.

The Linkage of Scissor Structure

The entire structure is deformed by rotating a single joint.

BEAST Movement

Beast body plans are composed of linkages of various components with passive and active joints enabling them to maximise degrees of adaptation while minimising actuation.

Self-Aware BEAST

Beast is self-aware through a lidar sensory system and through motor sensor feedback, evolving its self-adapting behaviour in relation to its changing human and non-human environment.

Basic Elements Testing

Simulations of the five basic elements, as well as tests of their variations.

Simulation Test and Classification of Prefabrications

The geometry analysed in the previous stage was set up in a virtual environment, and gravity, material collision and external force were added.

BEAST 03 Training Report

BEAST 03 training parameters and a comparison of pre-training and post-training behaviour.

Training Reports on Reinforcement Learning

From Component evolution to BEAST reinforcement training reports, environment settings, training rewards, and agent learning are all shown in the reports.

Behaviour Before and After Reinforcement Learning

The movement record of the agent. As the composition of components increases, the movement ability of the agent becomes more complex.
