How to Capture Human Preference: Commissioning of a Robotic Use-Case via Preferential Bayesian Optimisation
Sander De Witte, Jeroen Taets, Andras Retzler +2
The popularity of Bayesian Optimization (BO) to automate or support the commissioning of engineering systems is rising. Conventional BO, however, relies on the availability of a sc…

Differential Flatness of Quasi-Static Slider-Pusher Models with Applications in Control
Sander De Witte, Tom Lefebvre, Thomas Neve +2
This paper investigates the dynamic properties of planar slider-pusher systems as a motion primitive in manipulation tasks. To that end, we construct a differential kinematic model…

Probabilistic Latent Variable Modeling for Dynamic Friction Identification and Estimation
Victor Vantilborgh, Sander De Witte, Frederik Ostyn +2
Precise identification of dynamic models in robotics is essential to support control design, friction compensation, output torque estimation, etc. A longstanding challenge remains…
