• Objectives
– Minimize absorbed power over three uneven roads
– Minimize vertical acceleration over two half rounds
– Roof obstacle
• Minimize roll and pitch
• Constraints
– Step Steer
• 5% < Step steer roll overshoot < 15%
• 3% < Step steer yaw rate overshoot < 18%
– Roof obstacle
• Don’t let the floor hit the ground
• SHERPA
– Between 150 to 1500 runs
• Many, many optimizations were performed
– Due to
• Control system development
• Hydraulic hardware selection
• Design iterations
– For 6 months, optimizations were performed continuously
• Some produced great progress
• Many could not even get us back to the previous baseline
• The first optimization produced the best results
– But then we started adding in reality (valve control, uncertainty, friction…)
