Boundary

basin
of
recovery


  • Measure motion
  • Time-series data to state space trajectories, even sparse data
  • Compute the recovery/failure boundary, the envelope of recovery

field



Coastal flow

  • Sensitivity field could be max finite-time Lyapunov exponent field
  • Measures divergence between trajectories starting near a point
  • Ridges are boundaries between qualitatively different trajectories; originally

developed as “Lagrangian coherent structures” in fluid mechanics Sensitivity

Boundaries
in
higher
dimension


  • Basin of recovery in n-dim system bounded by (n-1)-dim surface
  • 2 angles and their rates (2D X 2D = 4D system)
  • Hard to visualize, but can compute 4D basin bounded by 3D surface
  • Basin size affected by environmental conditions

Recovery
envelope:
the
basin
boundary


Coastal flow

  • Size and shape of basin is function of possible natural dynamics
  • Kinematic variability: currently explored region of state space
  • When kinematic variability exceeds basin of recovery => failure

Outlook


  • Dynamical boundaries/separatrices reveal state space structure

displayed by trajectories; even in noisy, experimental time series data

  • Ridges in finite-time Lyapunov exponent field over sampled state space
  • Field average gives usual Lyapunov exponent quoted by others
  • Applications: torso stability, walking stability,

bipedal robotics, prosthetics, ship capsize

  • Limitations
  • Applicable only to mechanical systems?
  • Data requirements? Quantity and quality of data to see structure?
  • High dimensions difficult; choose appropriate coarse variables
