    # Digital Material Modeling and Simulation
    
    Case study of the design and optimization of Macro-DICE.
    
    Hardware Implementation:
    - [VoxRob](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/bej/voxrob)
    - [rover](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/ccameron/rover)
    - [DM3](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/bej/dm3)
    
    
    ## Structure Simulation Integration
    
    Using the [MetaVoxel simulation tool](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/amiraa/metavoxels):

    ## Optimization
    
    - Two level optimization
      - Shape (body) => [Hierarchal Local Online Shape Optimization](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/amiraa/metavoxels/-/blob/master/02_Presentation/top_opt/search.md)
      - Control (mind) => [AI that grows](../AI_that_grows/AI_grow.md)
      - Simultaneous optimization of shape and control
