Data-based Low-conservative Nonlinear Safe Control Learning

Amir Modares, Bahare Kiumarsi, Hamidreza Modares

This paper develops a data-driven safe control framework for nonlinear discrete-time systems with parametric uncertainty and additive disturbances. The proposed approach constructs…

Safe Navigation with Zonotopic Tubes: An Elastic Tube-based MPC Framework

Niyousha Ghiasi, Bahare Kiumarsi, Hamidreza Modares

This paper presents an elastic tube-based model predictive control (MPC) framework for unknown discrete-time linear systems subject to disturbances. Unlike most existing elastic tu…

Integration of Prior Knowledge into Direct Learning for Safe Control of Linear Systems

Amir Modares, Bahare Kiumarsi, Hamidreza Modares

This paper integrates prior knowledge into direct learning of safe controllers for linear uncertain systems under disturbances. To this end, we characterize the set of all closed-l…
