  2. 1. Distributed Control for Spatio-Temporally Constrained Systems

    Author : Adrian Wiltz; Dimos V. Dimarogonas; Jonas Mårtensson; Matthias Müller; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; distributed model predictive control; control barrier functions; spatio-temporal constraints; constrained control; multiagent systems; distribuerad modell prediktiv styrning; kontrollbarriärfunktion; tillstånds-temporala begränsningar; begränsade system; multiagentsystem;

    Abstract : In this thesis, we develop methods leading towards the distributed control of spatio-temporally constrained systems. Overall, we focus on two different approaches: a model predictive control approach and an approach based on ensuring set-invariance via control barrier functions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Partitioning and Control for Dynamical Systems Evolving on Manifolds

    Author : Xiao Tan; Dimos V. Dimarogonas; James D. Biggs; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Partitioning and control; Transition system; Geometric control; Barrier functions; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : With the development and integration of cyber-physical and safety-critical systems, control systems are expected to achieve tasks that include logic rules, receptive decision-making, safety constraints, and so forth. For example, in a persistent surveillance application, an unmanned aerial vehicle might be required to "take photos of areas A and B infinitely often, always avoid unsafe region C, and return to the charging point when the battery level goes low.

  5. 3. Correctness and Safety in Planning and Control via State-Space Partitions and Barrier Functions

    Author : Xiao Tan; Dimos V. Dimarogonas; Samuel Coogan; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Dynamical systems; Control barrier functions; Optimeringslära och systemteori; Optimization and Systems Theory;

    Abstract : Autonomous systems have become increasingly prevalent in various industries, ranging from household cleaning robots to line inspection drones and copilot vehicles. Ensuring real-time safety is becoming a critical issue when the environment is rapidly changing. READ MORE

  6. 4. Control of Dynamical Systems subject to Spatio-Temporal Constraints

    Author : Maria Charitidou; Dimos V. Dimarogonas; Christian Ebenbauer; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Signal Temporal Logic; formal methods; control barrier functions; autonomous systems; model predictive control; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Over the last decades, autonomous robots have been considered in a variety of applications such  as persistent monitoring, package delivery and cooperative transportation. These applications often require the satisfaction of a set of complex tasks that need to be possibly performed in a timely manner. READ MORE

  7. 5. Robust and Abstraction-free Control of Dynamical Systems under Signal Temporal Logic Tasks

    Author : Lars Lindemann; Dimos V. Dimarogonas; Ozay Necmiye; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Signal Temporal Logic; Multi-agent systems; Motion planning; Automatic Control; Hybrid Systems; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Dynamical systems that provably satisfy given specifications have become increasingly important in many engineering areas. For instance, safety-critical systems such as human-robot networks or autonomous driving systems are required to be safe and to also satisfy some complex specifications that may include timing constraints, i.e. READ MORE
