Online Simultaneous Semi-Parametric Dynamics Model Learning

1 code implementation9 Oct 2019 Joshua Smith, Michael Mistry

Accurate models of robots' dynamics are critical for control, stability, motion optimization, and interaction.

Adversarial Generation of Informative Trajectories for Dynamics System Identification

1 code implementation2 Mar 2020 Marija Jegorova, Joshua Smith, Michael Mistry, Timothy Hospedales

Dynamic System Identification approaches usually heavily rely on the evolutionary and gradient-based optimisation techniques to produce optimal excitation trajectories for determining the physical parameters of robot platforms.

Iterative Semi-parametric Dynamics Model Learning For Autonomous Racing

no code implementations17 Nov 2020 Ignat Georgiev, Christoforos Chatzikomis, Timo Völkl, Joshua Smith, Michael Mistry

In this paper, we develop and apply an iterative learning semi-parametric model, with a neural network, to the task of autonomous racing with a Model Predictive Controller (MPC).

Exploiting Spherical Projections To Generate Human-Like Wrist Pointing Movements

no code implementations8 Mar 2021 Carlo Tiseo, Sydney Rebecca Charitos, Michael Mistry

The mechanism behind the generation of human movements is of great interest in many fields (e. g. robotics and neuroscience) to improve therapies and technologies.

What Robot do I Need? Fast Co-Adaptation of Morphology and Control using Graph Neural Networks

no code implementations3 Nov 2021 Kevin Sebastian Luck, Roberto Calandra, Michael Mistry

The co-adaptation of robot morphology and behaviour becomes increasingly important with the advent of fast 3D-manufacturing methods and efficient deep reinforcement learning algorithms.

Agile Maneuvers in Legged Robots: a Predictive Control Approach

no code implementations14 Mar 2022 Carlos Mastalli, Wolfgang Merkt, Guiyang Xin, Jaehyun Shim, Michael Mistry, Ioannis Havoutis, Sethu Vijayakumar

To the best of our knowledge, our predictive controller is the first to handle actuation limits, generate agile locomotion maneuvers, and execute optimal feedback policies for low level torque control without the use of a separate whole-body controller.
