Supervisory Control of Hybrid Power Plants Using Online Feedback Optimization: Designs and Validations with a Hybrid Co-Simulation Engine
Sayak Mukherjee, Himanshu Sharma, Wenceslao Shaw Cortez +6
This research investigates designing a supervisory feedback controller for a hybrid power plant that coordinates the wind, solar, and battery energy storage plants to meet the desi…
Differentiable Predictive Control for Robotics: A Data-Driven Predictive Safety Filter Approach
John Viljoen, Wenceslao Shaw Cortez, Jan Drgona +3
Model Predictive Control (MPC) is effective at generating safe control strategies in constrained scenarios, at the cost of computational complexity. This is especially the case in…
Domain-aware Control-oriented Neural Models for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Wenceslao Shaw Cortez, Soumya Vasisht, Aaron Tuor +2
Conventional physics-based modeling is a time-consuming bottleneck in control design for complex nonlinear systems like autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). In contrast, purely d…
Safe, Passive Control for Mechanical Systems with Application to Physical Human-Robot Interactions
Wenceslao Shaw Cortez, Christos Verginis, Dimos V. Dimarogonas
In this paper, we propose a novel safe, passive, and robust control law for mechanical systems. The proposed approach addresses safety from a physical human-robot interaction persp…
Safe-by-Design Control for Euler-Lagrange Systems
Wenceslao Shaw Cortez, Dimos V. Dimarogonas
Safety-critical control is characterized as ensuring constraint satisfaction for a given dynamical system. Recent developments in zeroing control barrier functions (ZCBFs) have pro…
Grasp Constraint Satisfaction for Object Manipulation using Robotic Hands
Wenceslao Shaw Cortez, Denny Oetomo, Chris Manzie +1
For successful object manipulation with robotic hands, it is important to ensure that the object remains in the grasp at all times. In addition to grasp constraints associated with…
Robust Object Manipulation for Tactile-based Blind Grasping
Wenceslao Shaw-Cortez, Denny Oetomo, Chris Manzie +1
Tactile-based blind grasping addresses realistic robotic grasping in which the hand only has access to proprioceptive and tactile sensors. The robotic hand has no prior knowledge o…
