Description

I recap here the different ideas to make opty converging :

  • use gains so the cost function is evenly distributed over terms
  • try different integration methods
  • scale progressively the amplitude of the experimental data to iteratively solve a more complex problem
  • use a initial condition that satisfies the constraints, like the solution of a more simple problem/model
  • use regulation to get a smoother torques
  • minimize the torques

Research direction

Start by locating the opty direct-collocation trajectory optimization setup; the issue names no files or tests. Review the checked and unchecked convergence ideas, then define a reproducible convergence criterion and verify any selected approach against the experimental data and torque objectives.
