Learning for Layered Safety-Critical Control with Predictive Control Barrier Functions
William D. Compton, Max H. Cohen, Aaron D. Ames
Safety filters leveraging control barrier functions (CBFs) are highly effective for enforcing safe behavior on complex systems. It is often easier to synthesize CBFs for a Reduced…

Safety-Critical Controller Synthesis with Reduced-Order Models
Max H. Cohen, Noel Csomay-Shanklin, William D. Compton +2
Reduced-order models (ROMs) provide lower dimensional representations of complex systems, capturing their salient features while simplifying control design. Building on previous wo…

Constructive Nonlinear Control of Underactuated Systems via Zero Dynamics Policies
William Compton, Ivan Dario Jimenez Rodriguez, Noel Csomay-Shanklin +2
Stabilizing underactuated systems is an inherently challenging control task due to fundamental limitations on how the control input affects the unactuated dynamics. Decomposing the…
