Last time I talked about linear control, I presented a Linear Quadratic
Regulator as a general purpose hammer for solving linear control problems. In
this post I'm going to explain why
My last few posts have been rather abstract. I thought I'd use this one to go
into some details about the actual system we're working with.
As I mentioned
The purpose of this post is to introduce you to some of the basics of control
theory and to introduce the Linear-Quadratic Regulator

This summer I am working in the Robotics Locomotion group at CSAIL (MIT's
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory). I've decided to start
a blog to exposit on the
