First Order Methods For Globally Optimal Distributed Controllers Beyond Quadratic Invariance

Maryam Kamgarpour, Luca Furieri

We study the distributed Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control problem in discrete-time and finite-horizon, where the controller depends linearly on the history of the outputs and it is required to lie in a given subspace, e.g. to possess a certain spars ...

Unified Approach to Convex Robust Distributed Control Given Arbitrary Information Structures

Maryam Kamgarpour, Luca Furieri

We consider the problem of computing optimal linear control policies for linear systems in finite-horizon. The states and the inputs are required to remain inside prespecified safety sets at all times despite unknown disturbances. In this technical note, w ...

Frequency-Aware Model Predictive Control

Marco Hutter, Farbod Farshidian

Transferring solutions found by trajectory optimization to robotic hardware remains a challenging task. When the optimization fully exploits the provided model to perform dynamic tasks, the presence of unmodeled dynamics renders the motion infeasible on th ...

Imprecise dynamic walking with time-projection control

Auke Ijspeert, Philippe Müllhaupt, Salman Faraji

We present a new walking foot-placement controller based on 3LP, a 3D model of bipedal walking that is composed of three pendulums to simulate falling, swing and torso dynamics. Taking advantage of linear equations and closed-form solutions of the 3LP mode ...
