Presentation Transcript
Smart Robotic Quadruped: Using Machine Learning to Optimize Parameters and Control Brittany Lamorie, Cody Otto, Duncan Prance
General Information Functionality: - Taught from computer - Milestones - Adjusts on the fly Motivations: - Machine Learning - Building a robot Inspiration: - Bipedal Simulations done in 2013 Proof of Concept: https://youtu.be/M8YjvHYbZ9w?t=15
Hardware Block Diagram
Hardware Challenges: - Voltage - Power - Torque Backup Plans: - Tethered - Higher torque/cost servos
Data Flow Diagram
Software Challenges: - Need to run large amounts of simulations for learning - Making sure that our code is redundant and fault tolerant - Not killing the fragile hardware Backup Plans: - Not using machine learning - Confining movement to a set boundary - Physical tethering for power requirements
Test Plan Hardware: - Test servo motion - Test single leg - Test weight with full setup Software: - Test robot fully in simulation software (pre-recorded) - Using working robot to test simulation results for accuracy - Setup learning algorithm and test that the parameters fall inside set boundaries
