Energy Optimized Piecewise Polynomial Approximation Utilizing Modern Machine Learning Optimizers
摘要
This work explores an extension of Machine Learning (ML)–optimized Piecewise Polynomial (PP) approximation by incorporating energy optimization as an additional objective. Traditional closed-form solutions enable continuity and approximation targets but lack flexibility in accommodating complex optimization goals. By leveraging modern gradient descent optimizers within TensorFlow, we introduce a framework that minimizes elastic strain energy in cam profiles, leading to smoother motion. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of this approach, demonstrating its potential to Pareto-efficiently trade approximation quality against energy consumption.
