Designing robots that perform a given target motion as closely as possible with a fixed number of actuated degrees of freedom is challenging, especi ally for robots that form kinematic loops. In this paper, we propose a tec hnique that simultaneously solves for optimal design and control parameter s for a robotic character whose design is parameterized with configurable joints. At the technical core of our technique is an efficient solution st rategy that uses dynamics programming to solve for optimal state, control, and design parameters, together with a strategy to remove redundant const raints that commonly exist in general robot assemblies with kinematic loop s. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach by either editing the desig n of an existing robotic character, or by optimizing the design of a new c haracter to perform a desired motion.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Acces s\n\nSession Chair: Ioannis Karamouzas (Clemson University, University of California Riverside) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2023/full-program?id=papers_939&sess=sess160 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
