Abstract

In this article, we propose a new controller for recovering intermittent pushes during bipedal locomotion. We use 3LP as a template model which can provide closed-form solutions for state evolution. The idea behind our controller is to project the perturbed state of current time-step back to the beginning of the hybrid phase, use the expertise of a discrete controller and then apply the resulting optimal policy to the system at the current time-step. Linear properties of 3LP makes such calculation very fast and effective. By optimizing a certain cost function, we find the most robust and generic projecting configuration which outperforms the discrete controller itself.

Optimal control

Optimal control theory is a branch of mathematical optimization that deals with finding a control for a dynamical system over a period of time such that an objective function is optimized. It has numerous applications in science, engineering and operations research. For example, the dynamical system might be a spacecraft with controls corresponding to rocket thrusters, and the objective might be to reach the moon with minimum fuel expenditure.

Linearity

In mathematics, the term linear is used in two distinct senses for two different properties: linearity of a function (or mapping ); linearity of a polynomial. An example of a linear function is the function defined by that maps the real line to a line in the Euclidean plane R2 that passes through the origin. An example of a linear polynomial in the variables and is Linearity of a mapping is closely related to proportionality. Examples in physics include the linear relationship of voltage and current in an electrical conductor (Ohm's law), and the relationship of mass and weight.

Objections to evolution

Objections to evolution have been raised since evolutionary ideas came to prominence in the 19th century. When Charles Darwin published his 1859 book On the Origin of Species, his theory of evolution (the idea that species arose through descent with modification from a single common ancestor in a process driven by natural selection) initially met opposition from scientists with different theories, but eventually came to receive overwhelming acceptance in the scientific community.
