Personal tasks of this week:
Task: Deriving the SLP(sequential linear programming) formulation of a dampened pendulum
Definition: Due to the discovery of the limitation in Sergey’s circuit design, we are switching the problem and algorithm to try to accommodate. Thus, I am currently working on formulating the SLP for swinging up a single dampened pendulum.
Completion: Currently I am still working on the problem formulation. I had some misunderstandings about the problem structure that hindered my progress, but was cleared after talking with Thomas.
Next Steps:
Complete the formulation of SLP and isolate the LP subroutine.
Overall progress assessment:
Schedule changed, slightly behind but catching up.
