Yicheng Zeng, Ruturaj S. Sambhus, Basit Muhammad Imran +3
This paper proposes a fully decentralized model predictive control (MPC) framework with control barrier function (CBF) constraints for safety-critical trajectory planning in multi-…
Teleoperator-Aware and Safety-Critical Adaptive Nonlinear MPC for Shared Autonomy in Obstacle Avoidance of Legged Robots
Ruturaj Sambhus, Muneeb Ahmad, Basit Muhammad Imran +3
Ensuring safe and effective collaboration between humans and autonomous legged robots is a fundamental challenge in shared autonomy, particularly for teleoperated systems navigatin…
A Nonlinear MPC Framework for Loco-Manipulation of Quadrupedal Robots with Non-Negligible Manipulator Dynamics
Ruturaj Sambhus, Kapi Ketan Mehta, Ali MirMohammad Sadeghi +6
Model predictive control (MPC) combined with reduced-order template models has emerged as a powerful tool for trajectory optimization in dynamic legged locomotion. However, loco-ma…
