Closed-loop technique using gain balance for fast Brillouin Optical Time-Domain Analysis

Luc Thévenaz, Zhisheng Yang, Li Zhang, Ana Gabriela Correa Mena

A closed-loop servo control based on the gain ratio of two probing frequencies is proposed for fast BOTDA, where the feedback is independent of probe and pump loss, making it robust in harsh environment. ...

Closed-loop technique based on gain balancing for real-time Brillouin optical time-domain analysis

Luc Thévenaz, Zhisheng Yang, Li Zhang, Ana Gabriela Correa Mena

A closed-loop servo control based on balancing the gain of two probing frequencies is proposed for real-time Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) without post-processing. With the most basic BOTDA hardware setup, the system can perform measuremen ...

A unified framework for walking and running of bipedal robots

Ludovic Righetti, Elham Daneshmand

In this paper, we propose a novel framework capable of generating various walking and running gaits for bipedal robots. The main goal is to relax the fixed center of mass (CoM) height assumption of the linear inverted pendulum model (LIPM) and generate a w ...
