11.15.1. System Identification

Try these first

1. 1.

   Define System Identification in your own words.

   Hint

   Think about how robots learn to interact with their environment.

2. 2.

   What is the purpose of using encoders in robots?

   Hint

   Consider how a robot knows its location.

3. 3.

   What is the goal of system identification?

   • To control robot motion
   • To estimate physical parameters
   • To improve sensor accuracy

   Hint

   Think about what aids in understanding a system's behavior.

4. 4.

   True or False: Recursive Estimation allows for parameter updates only after all data is collected.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the timing of how data is handled.

5. 5.

   A robotic arm is exhibiting unexpected movements. Propose a troubleshooting plan that involves system identification techniques to diagnose the issue.

   Hint

   Think about the sequence of data collection and analysis.

6. 6.

   Design a study to compare the effectiveness of Least Squares Estimation vs. Recursive Estimation in a real-world robotic application. What factors would you consider?

   Hint

   Focus on how each method would operate under similar conditions.
