For the system under consideration, equations of motion and conservation laws are obtained. It is shown that the system admits two equilibrium points corresponding to uniform rotations of the top about the vertical symmetry axis. The equilibrium point is stable when the center of mass is located below the geometric center, and is unstable when the center of mass is located above it. The equations of motion are reduced to a system with one and a half degrees of freedom. The reduced system is represented as a small perturbation of the problem of the motion of the Lagrange top. Using Melnikov’s method, it is shown that the stable and unstable branches of the separatrix intersect transversally with each other. This suggests that the problem is nonintegrable. Results of computer simulation of the top dynamics near the unstable equilibrium point are presented.","PeriodicalId":333109,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference \"Nonlinearity, Information and Robotics\" (NIR)","volume":"160 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131685817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The idea of the method is to use machine learning tools to build a reliable predictor for ground reaction forces and then exclude them from the control formulation by building local contact interaction models. The advantage of this approach is twofold: first, it allows to avoid making models for every contact scenario, which become less accurate as the robot changes during its life cycle; instead it relies on the data gathered by the robot’s sensors. Second, it allows the use of the wealth of the control methods designed for the serial robots, as is demonstrated in the paper. The paper shows three experiments: with a planar walking robot, with a simplified three dimensional model tailored for optimization-based control, and with AR-601 humanoid robot.","PeriodicalId":333109,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference \"Nonlinearity, Information and Robotics\" (NIR)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132639678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The physical meaning of the introduced functions is forces, the virtual work of which on virtual displacements of the original mechanical system is equal to zero. The introduction of such forces makes it possible to compose differential equations of motion in the traditional form of Lagrange equations with indefinite factors, and the determination of the optimal control by one criterion or another is reduced to determining the extremum of a function of many variables, in the simplest case, to establishing the coefficients of the linear transformation of the reactions of constraints.

With their ability to directly learn the probability distribution of data and then sample synthetic realistic data. Many applications have emerged, using GANs to solve classical problems in machine learning, such as data augmentation, class imbalance problems, and fair representation learning. In this paper, we analyze and highlight the fairness concerns of GANs. In this regard, we show empirically that GANs models may inherently prefer certain groups during the training process and therefore they’re not able to homogeneously generate data from different groups during the testing phase. Furthermore, we propose solutions to solve this issue by conditioning the GAN model towards samples’ groups or using the ensemble method (boosting) to allow the GAN model to leverage distributed structure of data during the training phase and generate groups at an equal rate during the testing phase.","PeriodicalId":333109,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference \"Nonlinearity, Information and Robotics\" (NIR)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132127264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
