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…
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…
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…
