Member Function Documentation

Matrix calcDerivatives	(	const matrix::Matrix *	buffer,
		int	delay
	)			`[protected]`

Calculates first and second derivative and returns both in on matrix (above).

We use simple discrete approximations:

$f'(x) = (f(x) - f(x-1)) / 2$

$f''(x) = f(x) - 2f(x-1) + f(x-2)$

where we have to go into the past because we do not have f(x+1). The scaling can be neglegted.

double calcMatrixNorm ( const matrix::Matrix & m ) [virtual]

calculates the city block distance (abs) norm of the matrix. (abs sum of absolutes / size of matrix)

Matrix calculateControllerValues ( const matrix::Matrix & x_smooth ) [protected, virtual]

returns controller output for given sensor values

Parameters:

x_smooth

smoothed sensors Matrix(number_channels,1)

void fillBuffersAndControl	(	const sensor *	x_,
		int	number_sensors,
		motor *	y_,
		int	number_motors
	)			`[protected, virtual]`

puts the sensors in the ringbuffer, generate controller values and put them in the

static BasicControllerConf getDefaultConf ( ) [inline, static]

The given sensor teaching signal (distal learning) is used for this timestep.

First the belonging motor teachung signal is calculated by the inverse model. See setMotorTeachingSignal

list< Inspectable::iparamkey > getInternalParamNames ( ) const [virtual]

The list of the names of all internal parameters given by getInternalParams().
