Towards safe and resilient autonomy using synergistic control, observation and learning
Dimitra Panagou
Associate Professor
UM Robotics and Aerospace Engineering
Abstract: Enabling autonomy for robotic and cyber-physical systems with provable safety and resilience guarantees has been an ongoing area of research. Despite significant progress over the years, there are still open challenges due to constraints (e.g., safety and time specifications; sensing, computation and communication limitations), and environmental uncertainty. This plenary talk will present some of our recent results and ongoing work on a framework that interconnects control, planning and learning methods towards provably-correct safety-critical systems under constraints and uncertainty.

Competence-aware Planning and Control
Просмотров 93День назад
Hamidreza Modares Assistant Professor Michigan State University Abstract: Existing motion planning approaches typically separate the high-level planning from the low-level control. That is, the high-level planner does not account for the competence of the low-level controller in following its plans, given uncertainties on the system’s dynamics model and its surrounding environments. Even though...
Enabling automatic building envelope retrofits using controls and machine learning
Просмотров 18114 дней назад
Bryan Maldonado Research Staff Member Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Buildings and Transportation Science Division Abstract: Buildings contribute to over 35% of the total CO2 emissions in the United States, with 52% of these structures predating the 1980 energy codes. The absence of appropriate thermal insulation in these older structures leads to 20% higher energy use when compared to code-co...
Robust Online Convex Optimization for Disturbance Rejection
Просмотров 16821 день назад
Peter Seiler Associate Professor Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Abstract: This talk will consider robust disturbance rejection in high precision applications. We will start by motivating the work with one relevant problem: the control required for optical communication between satellites. We will then discuss the fundamental performance limits associated with linear time invariant ...

Low Gain Feedback for Linear Systems: Input Saturation and Input Delay
Просмотров 1295 месяцев назад
Zongli Lin Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineer University of Virginia Abstract: Low gain feedback refers to a family of stabilizing state feedback gains that are parameterized in a scalar, referred to as the low gain parameter, and go to zero as the low gain parameter decreases to zero. Low gain feedback was initially proposed to achieve semi-global stabilization of linear systems sub...
Leveraging Data and the Koopman Operator to Make Soft Robots More Capable
Просмотров 2756 месяцев назад
Daniel Bruder Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering University of Michigan Abstract: Soft robots are able to safely interact with delicate objects, absorb impacts without damage, and adapt to the shape of their environment, making them ideal for applications that require safe robot-human interaction. However, their use in real-world applications has been limited due to the difficulty invo...
