Actuator Net Optimization

actnetopt

A formulation and solution to optimizing the positioning of linear actuator networks

Status

The project was just begun on April 28th

Motiation

The Gluss Project has constructed a robot as a network of linear actuators. In particulary, the current glussbot has 7 tetrahedra, 10 joints, and 24 actuators.

There is a crawling gait for the robot at present. However, it is slow and awkward. In an attempt to have good control over the robot, we must solve a relatively abstract mathematical problems. This repo is an attempt to both formulate, solve, and code a solution that problem.
