Koopman-based Control of a Soft Continuum Manipulator Under Variable Loading Conditions

Daniel Bruder, Xun Fu, R. Brent Gillespie +2

Controlling soft continuum manipulator arms is difficult due to their infinite degrees of freedom, nonlinear material properties, and large deflections under loading. This paper pr…

Walking with Confidence: Safety Regulation for Full Order Biped Models

Nils Smit-Anseeuw, C. David Remy, Ram Vasudevan

Safety guarantees are valuable in the control of walking robots, as falling can be both dangerous and costly. Unfortunately, set-based tools for generating safety guarantees (such…
