This paper focuses on the topic of contact reaction prediction for walking robots, namely on the analysis of performances on different structures of the machine-learning-based predictors. Predicting reaction forces is important due to the fact that it can allow us to retrieve a simplified model of the contact scenario, as was proposed in the literature preciously. This allows to turn the problem of contact model identification into a data collection and processing problem. In order to do it effectively, both a data compression (feature extraction) and regression strategies might be used. This research provides an analysis of both with respect to the discussed problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
