1 Lecture 13: Dynamical Systems based Representation Contents: Differential Equation Force Fields, Velocity Fields Dynamical systems for Trajectory Plans Generating plans dynamically Fitting (or modifying) plans Imitation based learning Thanks to my collaborator Auke Ijspeert (EPFL) for many of the contents on the slides for this lecture. Lecture 13: RLSC - Prof. Sethu Vijayakumar 1

2 Movement policies as Dynamical Systems des f (,, goal) des Discreet & Rhythmic Movement Primitives Represent complex movements in globally stable attractor landscapes of nonlinear autonomous differential equations Choose kinematic representation for easy reuse in different workspace location Ensure easy temporal and spatial scaling (topological equivalence) Use local learning to modify the attractors according to demonstration of teacher and self-learning Lecture 13: RLSC - Prof. Sethu Vijayakumar 2

3 Discreet & Rhythmic Movement superposition Open loop with oscillators Closed loop control in horizontal plane Open (vertical) + Closed (horizontal) loop control Lecture 13: RLSC - Prof. Sethu Vijayakumar 3

4 What is a Differential Equation? Differential equation: an equation that describes how state variables evolve over time, for instance: y ( c y) Lecture 13: RLSC - Prof. Sethu Vijayakumar 4

5 Some Definitions Ordinary differential equation: differential equation that involves only ordinary derivatives (as opposed to partial derivatives) Autonomous equation: differential equation that does not (explicitly) depend on time Linear differential equation: differential equation in which the state variables only appear in linear combinations Nonlinear differential equation: differential equation in which some state variables appear in nonlinear combinations (e.g. products, cosine, ) Fixed point: point at which all derivatives are zero (can be an attractor, a repeller, or a saddle point, cf later) Limit cycle: periodic isolated closed trajectory (can only occur in nonlinear systems) Lecture 13: RLSC - Prof. Sethu Vijayakumar 5

6 Interesting Regimes of Differential Eqs. From Strogatz 1994 Unstable node saddles Attractor Attractors Limit cycles Chaos Lecture 13: RLSC - Prof. Sethu Vijayakumar 6

7 First Order Linear Systems First order linear system: y ( c y) How to solve this equation, for a given y(t=0), c, and? Two methods: analytical solution or numerical integration Analytical solution: y( t) ( y c)exp( 0 t) Numerical integration: Euler method, Runge-Kutta, c Lecture 13: RLSC - Prof. Sethu Vijayakumar 7

8 First Order Linear Systems y ( c y) y( t) ( y c)exp( 0 t) c Lecture 13: RLSC - Prof. Sethu Vijayakumar 8

11 Second Order Non-linear System y x 2cos 2cos y cos x x cos y Repeller saddles Attractor Lecture 13: RLSC - Prof. Sethu Vijayakumar 11

12 Learning a movement by demonstration Movement recognition Joint angles Trajectory formation system Movement execution (Inv. Dyn.) Task of the trajectory formation system: To encode demonstrated trajectories with high accuracy, To be able to modulate the learned trajectory when: Perceptual variables are varied (e.g. timing, amplitude) Perturbations occur Lecture 13: RLSC - Prof. Sethu Vijayakumar 12

13 Encoding a trajectory Traditionally, the problem of replaying a trajectory has been decomposed into two different issues: One of encoding the trajectory, and One of modifying the trajectory, for instance, in case the movement is perturbed, or when it requires to be modulated. Our approach: combine both abilities in a nonlinear dynamical system Aim: to encode the trajectory in a nonlinear dynamical system with well defined attractor landscape Lecture 13: RLSC - Prof. Sethu Vijayakumar 13

14 Nonlinear Dynamical Systems Approach Discrete movements dy/dt Rhythmic movements dy/dt y y Single point attractor Limit cycle attractor Lecture 13: RLSC - Prof. Sethu Vijayakumar 14
