It is well understood that nature has a calming effect on us. But in a physical space remote from nature, might the robotic embodiment of a natural phenomenon have the same effect? To address this question, we have simulated the soothing movement of ocean waves in a soft robotic surface, both as a simulation and in a physical prototype. In this paper, we report on our modeling methods of this natu...
