• ITMO PhD Students Train Chess-Playing Algorithm to Design Robots

  …When designing a new robot, engineers have to account for many parameters: shape and internal structure, kinematic and dynamic qualities, manufacturing methods, materials, drive types, sensors, and many more. Often, these properties contradict each other, making it harder to create an optimal structure that meets all of the client’s needs. Engineers have to constantl…
