Universal Barrier Functions for Safety and Stability of Constrained Nonlinear Systems
Vrushabh Zinage, Efstathios Bakolas
In this paper, we address the problem of synthesizing safe and stabilizing controllers for nonlinear systems subject to complex safety specifications and input constraints. We intr…
Distributed and Localized Covariance Control of Coupled Systems: A System Level Approach
Ahmed Khalil, Yoonjae Lee, Efstathios Bakolas
This work is concerned with the finite-horizon optimal covariance steering of networked systems governed by discrete-time stochastic linear dynamics. In contrast with existing work…
Distributed Model Predictive Covariance Steering
Augustinos D. Saravanos, Isin M. Balci, Efstathios Bakolas +1
This paper proposes Distributed Model Predictive Covariance Steering (DiMPCS) for multi-agent control under stochastic uncertainty. The scope of our approach is to blend covariance…
Deadlock-free, Safe, and Decentralized Multi-Robot Navigation in Social Mini-Games via Discrete-Time Control Barrier Functions
Rohan Chandra, Vrushabh Zinage, Efstathios Bakolas +2
We present an approach to ensure safe and deadlock-free navigation for decentralized multi-robot systems operating in constrained environments, including doorways and intersections…
Constrained Multi-Modal Density Control of Linear Systems via Covariance Steering Theory
Isin M Balci, Efstathios Bakolas
In this paper, we investigate finite-horizon optimal density steering problems for discrete-time stochastic linear dynamical systems whose state probability densities can be repres…
