Towards Effective Physical Reservoir Computing with a Pneumatic Soft Robot

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 2, 2026 · UTC

Physical reservoir computing (PRC) refers to the use of a physical dynamical system as a computational resource for tasks such as state estimation and control, but there has been a lack of formal study of design rules towards more effective design of such physical reservoirs. Using a pneumatic soft arm with a five-pouch sensing column, this work studies how the pouch interconnection topology, robot stiffness, and the number of instrumented sensors affect bending-angle estimation performance. Across 36 matched trials spanning waveform, baseline pressure of the sensing column, and actuation rang
