This enables to predict the configuration of such structures for a given reference input, which is demonstrated on a gecko-inspired soft robot. The newly gained simulation capability is then used to find new patterns for straight as well as curved trotting gait. The existing gait pattern for straight gait could be improved by a factor of 1.4, and a new gait pattern for the rotation on the spot could be discovered.",
