Learning Inverse Dynamics for Robot Manipulator Control
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-30)Model-based control strategies for robot manipulators can present numerous performance advantages when an accurate model of the system dynamics is available. In practice, obtaining such a model is a challenging task which ... -
Output Feedback Bilateral Teleoperation with Force Estimation in the Presence of Time Delays
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-28)This thesis presents a novel bilateral teleoperation algorithm for n degree of freedom nonlinear manipulators connected through time delays. Teleoperation has many practical uses, as there are many benefits that come from ... -
Training Gaussian Process Regression Models Using Optimized Trajectories
(University of Waterloo, 2014-10-02)Quadrotor helicopters and robot manipulators are used widely for both research and industrial applications. Both quadrotors and manipulators are difficult to model. Quadrotors have complex dynamic models, especially at ...
