### Virtual Testing Environment for Drones

For testing simple algorithms, you might be able to get by with a 2D simulator. There are a few out there that I am aware of: Stage: http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/index.php?src=stage STDR: http:/...

### What is $\alpha \sin(\theta) + \beta \frac{d \theta}{d t}$ in the inverted pendulum problem?

The function $f$ comes from the equation of motion for the inverted pendulum problem (inverted pendulum alone, not including the motion of the wheeled platform). If you consider your figure but ignore ...

### Machine Learning or Deep Learning libraries used in Robotics with FPGAs?

I cannot comment on 'most common', but I can definitely share several tools and research efforts towards using FPGA for deep-learning. See my survey paper on FPGA-based accelerators for CNN which ...

### PID tuning with (Deep) Reinforcement Learning

Many reainforcement learning methods require descrete actions. As you indentified, increasing and decreasing the values is one option. If it is an adaptive PID, then it might take some time to ...

### Can high voltage power lines provide a super highway for drones?

I think yes it can but how? My options are here: Static system for conventional systems It should stand or hang to line/pole/special place like birds. Please watch video for an example: https://www....

### Can high voltage power lines provide a super highway for drones?

Sure, a drone can land on a powerline. That's a standard task like the "peg in hole problem" for robotarms. The aim is to maneuver a UAV near to a highvoltage line and eating all the energy. The ...

### Can I create an autonomous robot that can adapt its strategy using machine learning?

I think the problem you're going to find is that machine learning requires learning. If the goals or objective vary just a little, then manually adjusting the software shouldn't be too difficult (if ...

### Role of Neuromorphic Computing and Quantum Computing in the field of Robotics and AI

You've asked more than one question, so I'll try to answer them in order. The Robotics community has not yet hit the limits of current hardware, so very little work is being done on the exotic ...

### Predicting the impact point of a moving object

Unless you are talking about something higher-order (like learning the behavior of an autonomous agent and predicting how it will move in the future), what you are looking for is to create a simple ...

### Robotic Manipulator

If you have no prior experience in robotics, I would recommend one well known book, Craig - Introduction of Robotics: Mechanics and Control. This should explain well the basics of robotic manipulators....

### biped walking using Genetic Algorithm

If you're only trying to walk forward the fitness function could be the distance covered by the biped. If you're also trying to control the heading, you could define a slightly more complex function ...

### Neural Nework code or library for MSP430G2553 microcontroller

One page linked says the algorithm is fine for the ATmega328's 2KB of SRAM, another is for the ATmega2560's 8KB of SRAM. Your MSP430G2553 has 0.5KB of RAM, so I think that's the primary reason you ...
