Episodic Koopman Learning of Nonlinear Robot Dynamics with Application to Fast Multirotor Landing
Carl Folkestad, Daniel Pastor, Joel W. Burdick
This paper presents a novel episodic method to learn a robot's nonlinear dynamics model and an increasingly optimal control sequence for a set of tasks. The method is based on the…
Design of a Ballistically-Launched Foldable Multirotor
Daniel Pastor, Jacob Izraelevitz, Paul Nadan +3
The operation of multirotors in crowded environments requires a highly reliable takeoff method, as failures during takeoff can damage more valuable assets nearby. The addition of a…
Design and Autonomous Stabilization of a Ballistically Launched Multirotor
Amanda Bouman, Paul Nadan, Matthew Anderson +4
Aircraft that can launch ballistically and convert to autonomous, free flying drones have applications in many areas such as emergency response, defense, and space exploration, whe…
Extended Dynamic Mode Decomposition with Learned Koopman Eigenfunctions for Prediction and Control
Carl Folkestad, Daniel Pastor, Igor Mezic +3
This paper presents a novel learning framework to construct Koopman eigenfunctions for unknown, nonlinear dynamics using data gathered from experiments. The learning framework can…
