### Reward Function for q learning on a robot

I have 2 wheeled differential drive robot which I use pid for low level control to follow line. I implemented q learning which uses samples for 16 iterations then uses them to decide the best position ...

### Poor accuracy of hand eye calibration when using vanilla Tsai's method

I’m working on the hand eye calibration for the robotic arm. I attached the camera near the tip of the robot (or end effector) and took around 40 pictures of an asymmetric circles pattern. I ...

### Likelihood field sensor model (Probabilistic Robotics, Thrun et al., p.169-174)

I am currently working on the "likelihood field" sensor model (aka "endpoint model") by Thrun et al. (book: Probabilistic Robotics, Thrun et al., p.169-174) In this context I have ...

### Inferring joint orientation on multi-joint arm

Not a robotics question in the strictest sense, I guess, but related closely enough, I hope: I have an arm-like articulated two(-plus-one)-joint appliance that I want to use as a 3D input device. It ...

### Motion planning with Gaussian Process Regression

I was recently introduced to Gaussian Process Regression (GPR). I read multiple papers regarding use cases of GPR in robotics, however, they were more or less very limited. Use case from the ...

### MPU6050: Changing Gyro Output Range Throws off Positional Reading

I am using the MPU6050 in conjunction with an Arduino and Jeff Rowberg's i2cdev library, and my project requires that the gyro rate outputs be more precise than the default setting, which is 1/16.4 of ...

### How does one implement a third order complementary filter for estimating altitude using data from an accelerometer and a barometer?

I am working with the CJMCU build of cleanflight on a small drone. As of now, the algorithm for altitude hold uses a first order complementary filter to combine data from the barometer and the ...

### Nonlinear Sensor Fusion with Space-Time Finite Element and Static Condensation?

I have recently implemented an algorithm for the nonlinear fusion of GNSS, barometer, magnetometer, accelerometer and gyroscope data. The algorithm is based on a space-time finite element where the ...

### Covariance of Gaussian after sequence of homogeneous transformations

Assume we have a robot that moves and observes landmarks on his path. The path is composed of $k$ poses $s_1 \: ... s_k$ where $s_i = [x,\ y,\ \theta]$. From the sensors, we read the motion ...

### FABRIK Inverse Kinematics Convergence Proof For Multiple End-Effector Case

Below, I've linked the FABRIK papers, the first of which is particularly relevant to my question, as it shows the convergence proof for the single end effector case, and this makes sense to me. But I ...

### How to find angular velocity using pure pursuit algorithm?

I have implemented the pure pursuit algorithm for my differential wheeled robot as described in the following paper: http://www.enseignement.polytechnique.fr/profs/informatique/Eric.Goubault/MRIS/...

### output velocity equation of compliance control

I am trying to implement a compliance controller for a robot arm and stumbled upon an existing code snippet where the compliance velocity of the endeffector is calculated by: \$v_{out} = v_{in} + \frac{...

### Robot - Wall Avoiding (Plinko Robot)

I am looking to build a robot that will travel and zig-zag down the hallway.It will be headed towards a wall at roughly 45 degrees and then use a IR LED to detect when a wall is nearby. From there, ...

### What is the corrispettive motion convention for robotic systems with X,Y,Z axis?

We built several systems coupling multiple linear micrometric stages. I can't find a standard defining the axis convention of these kinds of systems, it there are any. Regarding the system on the ...
