Projects Feedback Linearization - Its Performance and Limitations The goal is to design a feedback control law that perfectly cancels the nonlinear term in the pendulum dynamics. For this simple example, the derivation is straightforward and the performance difference is easily observed.
Projects Hill Model Simulation and Functional Electrical Stimulation While some have characterized the wrist as a second order system, the focus here is fitting a more complex fourth order model that accurately represents observed responses and muscle activity [1].

vim Making netrw Clean and Minimally Disruptive. Then Stop Using It. Before jumping to a project drawer/file browser plugin, let's make netrw clean and minimally disruptive. Then stop using it.
Projects Simple State Space Model of a Pendulum This is the first post of a series that will build on simple pendulum dynamics to investigate different control laws and how model uncertainty affects the linear model approximation. Pendulum Model We will start by deriving the equations of motion for the simple pendulum shown below. The mass $m$ is
