Set-based Optimal, Robust, and Resilient Control with Applications to Autonomous Precision Landing
Abhinav G. Kamath, Abraham P. Vinod, Purnanand Elango +2
We present a real-time-capable set-based framework for closed-loop predictive control of autonomous systems using tools from computational geometry, dynamic programming, and convex…
Successive Convexification for Passively-Safe Spacecraft Rendezvous on Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit
Purnanand Elango, Abraham P. Vinod, Kenji Kitamura +3
We present an optimization-based approach for fuel-efficient spacecraft rendezvous to the Gateway, a space station that will be deployed on a near rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO) aro…
A Comparative Study of MINLP and MPVC Formulations for Solving Complex Nonlinear Decision-Making Problems in Aerospace Applications
Andrea Ghezzi, Armin NurkanoviÄ, Avishai Weiss +2
High-level decision-making for dynamical systems often involves performance and safety specifications that are activated or deactivated depending on conditions related to the syste…
Projection-free computation of robust controllable sets with constrained zonotopes
Abraham P. Vinod, Avishai Weiss, Stefano Di Cairano
We study the problem of computing robust controllable sets for discrete-time linear systems with additive uncertainty. We propose a tractable and scalable approach to inner- and ou…
