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: The formulation has been derived. However, the parameters for the constraint bounds and the timestep still need to be tuned as SLP is more sensitive to these parameter values. Currently the solver can swing up the pendulum.
Next Steps:
Tune parameters for SLP solver.
Overall progress assessment:
Schedule changed, on schedule.
