Quadrotor translational 3-state

ADVANTAGES0 · dim 3

SolvSRK wins. At the comparison noise level, SolvSRK beats the best baseline by at least 10 percentage points of survival, or by at least 0.05 balanced score when survival is tied. Use SolvSRK for this class of problem. All verdicts →

Problem definition

Canonical benchmark implementation

Canonical RHS excerpt from the registered callable used for this benchmark cell. Expand it to verify the state equations; it is not a standalone runnable fixture.

Show canonical RHS excerpt
def _translational_rhs(t, y):
    d = np.empty(3)
    d[0] = -_CFG.cd * y[0] / _CFG.mass
    d[1] = -_CFG.cd * y[1] / _CFG.mass
    hover_T = _CFG.mass * _CFG.gravity
    d[2] = -_CFG.gravity + hover_T / _CFG.mass - _CFG.cd * y[2] / _CFG.mass

Parameters
  • No captured parameters; constants are explicit in the RHS excerpt.

At Clean, best balanced arm is SolvSRK.

Values are medians across seeds, measured by Resonix Labs on Resonix hardware and not independently verified; nfev and wall are on reference lab hardware (indicative). Under injected noise only SolvSRK and the SciPy arms are run. How we measure accuracy → · Verification status →
