A Data-Driven Approach to Geometric Modeling of Systems with Low-Bandwidth Actuator Dynamics
Siming Deng, Junning Liu, Bibekananda Datta +5
It is challenging to perform system identification on soft robots due to their underactuated, high-dimensional dynamics. In this work, we present a data-driven modeling framework,…
