This page is intended for links, information, demos, videos, etc. relating to the Arachi DE Simulation Environment

We are using a version of the Arachi dynamics software that grew, in part, out of work at the Stanford CS Robotics Lab.

The Arachi modeler has been integrated with software for programming and running the RiSE platform. The focus of the work at Stanford is on developing new contact models that account for adhesion (e.g. as found in geckos) and the effects of micro-spines, etc.
