Description

The optional dependency coomm is required for running either of the octopus arm cases (2D and 3D). It is the only dependency (required or optional) that uses exclusively Python 3.10. Furthermore, coomm fixes pyelastica version to be 0.2.2, which is heavily outdated.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the dependency 'coomm': check its repository for compatibility with newer Python versions and whether it can be updated or replaced with a newer version that supports Python 3.11+. Also review the impact of updating 'pyelastica' to a more recent version, ensuring compatibility with the rest of the codebase.
