Smart Control: Leveraging Human Task Understanding with Partwise MPC The concept of Partwise MPC intrigued me with its innovative approach to motion control by leveraging human task understanding to relax constraints dynamically. Instead of rigidly controlling every joint in the body, Partwise MPC breaks down the body into independent parts, optimizing them separately when full-body coordination isn't required. This mimics how humans naturally adjust their movements: tightening or relaxing control based on task demands. For example, when stabilizing with a hand on a fixed object, less constraint is needed for the arm, allowing other body parts to optimize more efficiently. This approach reduces computational complexity and enhances optimization speed, providing more natural and adaptive movements. By incorporating human-like decision-making into motion planning, Partwise MPC offers a smarter, more efficient way to handle dynamic tasks, showing great potential in applications ranging from robotics to virtual animation. https://lnkd.in/gdUPEE-2

Maintaining consistent water pressure is essential for ensuring a smooth water supply, even with water consumption.💧 From using switch set-ups to sensors and advanced control, this can be done in various ways.

You can now visualize how motor constraints change with changes in their parameters in just a few clicks and obtain optimal current values for the reference operating point, even for motors exhibiting non-linearity. MATLAB R24a Release is out now. You can try this behavior now right from the block mask. Follow the post from RaghuNath (RaNa) Rachabattuni for more details.

Ended up ditching the wheel colliders in Unity. Wheel colliders are great but i realized that in order for them to work there needs to be code that alters the wheels forward friction,damper and sideways friction dynamically based on factors like vehicle weight, turning circle and wheel position not to mention it doesn't work with physmats so you have to adjust those forward and sideways friction values in a custom script for every surface and vehicle. Too complicated for whats required. Used AddForce for torque and AddForceAtPosition for steering instead. Not realistic but fun enough plus you can do burnouts. AddForceAtPosition pushes on each wheel individually that are marked as 'steer' so it looks like the vehicle is turning. Also used a shader that hooks into the vehicle that moves to give the illusion of wheels moving its not perfect but a start. Might implement spring for wheels as physics but everything else can be controlled by animation. Also replacing the PID system with node navigation for ground vehicles, its less taxing on performance and i wont need vehicle barriers.

Let's brainstorm what we could do with AR graphics on packaging and ... fabric?! Really inspired by this augmented reality wrapping paper from Roarsome where you scan it with your phone to make the adorable characters come alive. Initial ideas: - animations of how things work - messages from the founder - little moments of joy you want to watch over and over (panda videos anyone?) What else can we do with this? #design #augmentedreality https://lnkd.in/gRzP8Ydc

New YouTube Tutorial Up! When I first started exploring 3D assets for the Apple Vision Pro, I kept getting the same question: How realistic do the 3D models look? In this video, I dive deep into that topic. I take a look at how 3D materials are constructed in a PBR system and how much of that information makes it through to the spatial experience. I also explore lighting in the Apple Vision Pro. Does the light change based on my environment or is it a pre-baked lighting setup? I find out!
