CacheMPC: Certified Cached Model Predictive Control for Quadruped Locomotion
Nimesh Khandelwal, Mehul Anand, Shakti S. Gupta +1
Model Predictive Control (MPC) is the standard predictive layer in hierarchical quadruped controllers, but the per-cycle QP solve limits the update rate achievable on embedded proc…
Communication-Constrained Energy-Optimal Trajectory Generation for Quadrotor UAVs in Urban Environments
Prateek Priyaranjan Pradhan, Ketan Rajawat, Mangal Kothari
Communication-aware trajectory generation for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operating in urban environments requires simultaneous consideration of vehicle dynamics, wireless comm…
Model Predictive Static Programming for Discrete-Time Optimal Control on Lie Groups
Akhil B Krishna, Mangal Kothari
This paper extends the Model Predictive Static Programming (MPSP) framework for nonlinear systems evolving on Euclidean spaces to simple mechanical systems evolving on Lie groups.…
Compliant Control of Quadruped Robots for Assistive Load Carrying
Nimesh Khandelwal, Amritanshu Manu, Shakti S. Gupta +3
This paper presents a novel method for assistive load carrying using quadruped robots. The controller uses proprioceptive sensor data to estimate external base wrench, that is used…
Distributed Inverse Dynamics Control for Quadruped Robots using Geometric Optimization
Nimesh Khandelwal, Amritanshu Manu, Shakti S. Gupta +3
This paper presents a distributed inverse dynamics controller (DIDC) for quadruped robots that addresses the limitations of existing reactive controllers: simplified dynamical mode…
