Safety-Critical Control on Lie Groups Using Energy-Augmented Zeroing Control Barrier Functions
Alessandro Letti, Riccardo Zanella, Alessandro Macchelli +1
We study safety-critical control on fully actuated mechanical systems by means of Zeroing Control Barrier Functions (ZCBFs) defined on Lie Groups. Specifically, we introduce and th…

Lossless optimal transient control for rigid bodies in 3D space
Riccardo Zanella, Federico Califano, Antonio Franchi +1
In this letter, we propose a control scheme for rigid bodies designed to optimise transient behaviors. The search space for the optimal control input is parameterized to yield a pa…
