Practical realization of model-based dynamic legged behaviors is substantially more challenging than statically stable behaviors due to their heavy dependence on second-order system dynamics. This problem is further aggravated by the difficulty of accurately measuring or estimating dynamic parameters such as spring and damping constants for associated models and the fact that such parameters are prone to change in time due to heavy use and associated material fatigue. In this paper, we present an on-line, model-based adaptive control method for running with a planar spring-mass hopper based on a once-per-step parameter correction scheme. Our method can be used both as a system identification tool to determine possibly time-varying spring and damping constants of a miscalibrated system, or as an adaptive controller that can eliminate steady-state tracking errors through appropriate adjustments on dynamic system parameters. We present systematic simulation studies to show that our method can successfully accomplish both of these tasks.

Dynamic Modeling and Control of Underactuated Planar Bipedal Walking Sovukluk, Sait; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert; Saranlı, Uluç; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-6-16) This study demonstrates an adaptive model predictive control method for input constrained control of underactuated bipedal walking with a predefined trajectory. Our approach aims to increase the trajectory tracking performance of the system and produce realistic and applicable responses while letting a certain amount of posture change around the predefined trajectory. To do so, we employ whole-body dynamics in our control structure, include weights for the unactuated joint inside the cost function, and defi...
Optimal control of stochastic hybrid system with jumps: A numerical approximation Temoçin, Büşra Zeynep; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2014-03-15) The generalized class of stochastic hybrid systems consists of models with regime changes including the occurrence of impulsive behavior. In this paper, the stochastic hybrid processes with jumps are approximated by locally consistent Markov decision processes that preserve local mean and covariance. We further apply a randomized switching policy for approximating the dynamics on the switching boundaries. To investigate the validity of the approximation, we study a stochastic optimal control problem. On the...
Adaptive evolution strategies in structural optimization: Enhancing their computational performance with applications to large-scale structures Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (2008-01-01) In this study the computational performance of adaptive evolution strategies (ESs) in large-scale structural optimization is mainly investigated to achieve the following objectives: (i) to present an ESs based solution algorithm for efficient optimum design of large structural systems consisting of continuous, discrete and mixed design variables; (ii) to integrate new parameters and methodologies into adaptive ESs to improve the computational performance of the algorithm; and (iii) to assess successful self...
Improving reinforcement learning using distinctive clues of the environment Demir, Alper; Polat, Faruk; Department of Computer Engineering (2019) Effective decomposition and abstraction has been shown to improve the performance of Reinforcement Learning. An agent can use the clues from the environment to either partition the problem into sub-problems or get informed about its progress in a given task. In a fully observable environment such clues may come from subgoals while in a partially observable environment they may be provided by unique experiences. The contribution of this thesis is two fold; first improvements over automatic subgoal identifica...
Functional Mesh Model with Temporal Measurements for Brain Decoding Onal, Itir; Ozay, Mete; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2015-08-29) We propose a method called Functional Mesh Model with Temporal Measurements (FMM-TM) to estimate a functional relationship among voxels using temporal data, and employ these relationships for brain decoding. For each sample, we measure Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) responses from each voxel, and construct a functional mesh around each voxel (called seed voxel) with its nearest neighbors selected using distance metrics namely Pearson correlation, cosine similarity and Euclidean distance. Then, we ...
