Augmenting Self-Stability: Height Control of a Bernoulli Ball via Bang-Bang Control

ICRA 2020poster

Mechanical self-stability is often useful for controlling systems in uncertain and unstructured environments because it can regulate processes without explicit state observation or feedback computation. However, the performance of such systems is often not optimised, which begs the question how thei…

Model-Free Design Optimization of a Hopping Robot and Its Comparison With a Human Designer

RA-L 2018

When developing a robot, design iterations in the physical world are necessary, even though they are often costly and not systematic. Here, we present an automated iterative design process without using modeling or simulation, which we refer to as “model-free design optimization” based on Bayesian o
