Risk-aware MPPI for Stochastic Hybrid Systems
Hardik Parwana, Mitchell Black, Bardh Hoxha +4
Path Planning for stochastic hybrid systems presents a unique challenge of predicting distributions of future states subject to a state-dependent dynamics switching function. In th…
Neural Configuration Distance Function for Continuum Robot Control
Kehan Long, Hardik Parwana, Georgios Fainekos +3
This paper presents a novel method for modeling the shape of a continuum robot as a Neural Configuration Euclidean Distance Function (N-CEDF). By learning separate distance fields…
Model Predictive Path Integral Methods with Reach-Avoid Tasks and Control Barrier Functions
Hardik Parwana, Mitchell Black, Georgios Fainekos +3
The rapid advancement of robotics necessitates robust tools for developing and testing safe control architectures in dynamic and uncertain environments. Ensuring safety and reliabi…
A Constructive Method for Designing Safe Multirate Controllers for Differentially-Flat Systems
Devansh R. Agrawal, Hardik Parwana, Ryan K. Cosner +3
We present a multi-rate control architecture that leverages fundamental properties of differential flatness to synthesize controllers for safety-critical nonlinear dynamical system…
