The capability of a robot to perform tasks depends not only on precise motion control, but also on a well-suited body morphology. Adapting both morphology and control of robots to improve their task performance has been a widely studied and long-standing issue. While the bio-inspired bi-level optimization framework has gained popularity in recent years, it suffers from high computation complexity ...
