Analytic Non-Gaussian Confidence Boundary Method for Chance-Constrained Trajectory Control
Ethan Burnett, Spencer Boone
Standard chance constrained control algorithms typically rely on the assumption that uncertainties in vehicle states obey Gaussian statistics. Highly nonlinear systems tend to disr…
