Alvin’s Status Report for 3/2

Personal tasks of this week:

Task: Formulation of NLP

Definition: Formulating the non linear program for the double pendulum swing up

Completion: After working with Thomas, I was able to derive the NLP for the double pendulum swing up. This consisted of defining the cost function and translating the dynamics of the system into constraints.

 

 

Task: Design review report

Definition: Writing the design review report

Completion: The report is completed.

 

Next Steps:

We’ve made some modifications to our schedule, including adding more prototypes and changing our approach to the problem due to finding some limitations in Sergey’s circuit design, so the next step will be to look into ways to formulate the problem in way that is solvable by the circuits we have.

Overall progress assessment:

Schedule is changed, but still on schedule.
