An Analytical Diabolo Model for Robotic Learning and Control An analytical diabolo model for robotic learning and control Felix von Drigalski∗1, Devwrat Joshi∗†1;3, Takayuki Murookay1;4, Kazutoshi Tanaka1, Masashi Hamaya1 and Yoshihisa Ijiri1;2 Abstract— In this paper, we present a diabolo model that can be used for training agents in simulation to play diabolo, as well as running it on a real dual robot arm system. We first derive an analytical model of the diabolo-string system and compare its accuracy using data recorded via motion capture, which we release as a public dataset of skilled play with diabolos of different dynamics. We show that our model outperforms a deep-learning-based predictor, both in terms of precision and physically consistent behavior. Next, we describe a method based on optimal control to generate robot trajectories that produce the desired diabolo trajectory, as well as a system to transform higher-level actions into robot motions. Finally, we test our method on a real robot system by playing the diabolo, and throwing it to and catching it from a human player. I. INTRODUCTION Movement arts such as dance, acrobatics and juggling have been enchanting audiences for millennia, and have recently become a popular challenge for robotics researchers, both for entertainment and teaching purposes [1]–[3], and to push the limits of current technology. Juggling, in particular, has seen increased interest [4]–[6] starting from the 1990’s, as robotic actuators become more capable of executing these high- Fig. 1.

PROGRAM Peking Dreams EKING (known today as Beijing), the capital of the People’s Republic of China, is a Pfamous historical and cultural city with a history spanning 1,000 years and a wealth of precious Chinese cultural heritage, including the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, and the Temple of Heaven. Acrobatic art, Chinese circus, and Peking opera are Chinese cultural treasures and are beloved among the people of Peking. These art forms combine music, acrobatics, performance, mime, and dance and share many similarities with Western culture. Foreign tourists walking along the streets or strolling through the parks of Peking can often hear natives sing beautiful Peking opera, see them play diabolo or perform other acrobatics. Peking Dreams , incorporating elements of acrobatics, Chinese circus, and Peking opera, invites audiences into an artistic world full of history and wonder. The actors’ flawless performance, colorful costumes, and elaborate makeup will astound audiences with visual and aural treats.

  • THE BENEFITS of LEARNING to JUGGLE for CHILDREN Written by Dave Finnigan
    THE BENEFITS OF LEARNING TO JUGGLE FOR CHILDREN Written by Dave Finnigan Fitness, Motor Skills, Rhythm, Balance, Coordination Benefits . Students can start acquiring pre-juggling skills in pre-school and kindergarten by learning to toss and catch one big, colorful, slow-moving nylon scarf. Once tossing and catching becomes routine, you can use one nylon scarf anywhere that you would normally use a ball or beanbag for most games and many individual challenges. Just think of the scarf as a "ball with training wheels." Scarf juggling and scarf play progresses in a step-by-step manner from one, to two, and on to three. Scarf play and scarf juggling requires big, flowing movements. Children get a great cardio-vascular and pulmonary work-out when they juggle scarves, exercising the big muscles close to the head and close to the heart. They will find scarf juggling to be a great deal of work and lots of fun at the same time. Once they move on to beanbags or other faster moving equipment, they get exercise not only from tossing, but from bending over to pick up errant objects as well. Once a student can juggle continuously, they can "workout" with heavy or bulky objects such as heavyweight beanbags, basketballs, or other items which provide strenuous exercise while they improve focus and dexterity. Because all of this tossing and catching activity can be done to music, you can use different types of music to help children acquire a sense of rhythm and a natural "beat." By working together, students can participate in a group activity requiring concentration and attention to task and reinforcing rhythm.

  • The Coriolis Force and the Rattleback
    The Coriolis Force and the Rattleback Frederick David Tombe, Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, [email protected] 17th December 2010 Abstract. The rattleback (Celtic Stone) is the most mysterious phenomenon in classical mechanics. It reverses its angular momentum by inducing a Coriolis pressure from the dense background sea of rotating electron-positron dipoles which is the medium for the propagation of light. [1] Magnets and Rattlebacks I. Magnets and rattlebacks share in common the fact that they involve a mutual alignment of the spin moments of their constituent atoms and molecules. They differ however in that rattlebacks involve a rotation on the large scale in order to bring this alignment about. In magnetic materials, the induced spin alignment results in a linear force, whereas in rattlebacks, the induced spin alignment results in a reversal torque which opposes the initial rotation. Another important difference is that rattlebacks are generally made of materials which are not as dense as magnetic materials. [2] Gravity and Friction II. Gravity acts vertically downwards and so the reversal torque in a rattleback cannot be sourced in gravity. Sliding friction is involved in that it dissipates the entire motion, but sliding friction by its nature is not something that could cause a reversal torque. Static friction is necessary in order to enable the rocking stage of the rattleback’s cycle. Without static friction, a rattleback will not work. However, static friction by its nature is not something that could actually go as far as to cause a reversal torque. 1 Forging a Torque by Mathematical Manipulation III.

Hula hoops acquire much popularity both abroad and in Ukraine, and are used not only in school, gymnastics and emotional pleasure, but also in a circus and juggling sports. Also highlights the main directions in the juggling with their features and how the juggling acts itself directly on human health. Also will be examined where this fascinating art form came to us, how it developed, and what kinds acquired in the present. Keywords: hula hoops, juggling, "track", stage technique, white substance, "helicopter". Problem definition and analysis of researches. Today juggling reached incredible development. There is no country where people would not be interested in juggling. There are a lot of conventions and juggling competitions, where people come from all over the world and share experiences with each other. But it should be noted, that there aren’t so much professional juggling schools. And if we talk about juggling by hula hoops, we can admit that there aren’t so much real experts in this field. Peter Bon, Tony Buzan in collaboration with Michael J. Gelb, Luke Burridge, Alexander Kiss, Paul Koshel and many others have written about all kinds of juggling, but left unattended hula hoops juggling. That is why in this article will be examples of author’s tricks with large and small hula hoops with a detailed description.
