We give an overview of the EPFL indoor flying project, whose goal is to evolve neural controllers for autonomous, adaptive, indoor micro-flyers. Indoor flight is still a challenge ...
We generalise the optimisation technique of dynamic programming for discretetime systems with an uncertain gain function. We assume that uncertainty about the gain function is des...
— The reduction of the kinematics and/or dynamics of a high-DOF robotic manipulator to a low-dimension “task space” has proven to be an invaluable tool for designing feedback...
The paper establishes conditions which certify a local L2 gain for interconnections of locally stable systems. The approach involves improvements to local L2 gain estimation using ...
— We present a hydro-elastic actuator that has a linear spring intentionally placed in series between the hydraulic piston and actuator output. The spring strain is measured to g...
