Lexicographic Minimum-Violation Motion Planning using Signal Temporal Logic
Patrick Halder, Lothar Kiltz, Hannes Homburger +2
Motion planning for autonomous vehicles often requires satisfying multiple conditionally conflicting specifications. In situations where not all specifications can be met simultane…
Toward a Decision Support System for Energy-Efficient Ferry Operation on Lake Constance based on Optimal Control
Hannes Homburger, Bastian Jäckl, Stefan Wirtensohn +5
The maritime sector is undergoing a disruptive technological change driven by three main factors: autonomy, decarbonization, and digital transformation. Addressing these factors ne…
Gauss-Newton accelerated MPPI Control
Hannes Homburger, Katrin Baumgärtner, Moritz Diehl +1
Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) control is a sampling-based optimization method that has recently attracted attention, particularly in the robotics and reinforcement learning…
Trajectory Planning with Signal Temporal Logic Costs using Deterministic Path Integral Optimization
Patrick Halder, Hannes Homburger, Lothar Kiltz +2
Formulating the intended behavior of a dynamic system can be challenging. Signal temporal logic (STL) is frequently used for this purpose due to its suitability in formalizing comp…
