This paper proposes a decentralized approach for solving the problem of moving a swarm of agents into a desired formation. We propose a decentralized assignment algorithm which prescribes goals to each agent using only local information. The assignment results are then used to generate energy-optimal trajectories for each agent which have guaranteed collision avoidance through safety constraints. We present the conditions for optimality and discuss the robustness of the solution. The efficacy of the proposed approach is validated through a numerical case study to characterize the frameworks performance on a set of dynamic goals.

In this paper, we propose an approach for solving an energy-optimal goal assignment problem to generate the desired formation in multi-agent systems. Each agent solves a decentralized optimization problem with only local information about its neighbo ring agents and the goals. The optimization problem consists of two sub-problems. The first problem seeks to minimize the energy for each agent to reach certain goals, while the second problem entreats an optimal combination of goal and agent pairs that minimizes the energy cost. By assuming the goal trajectories are given in a polynomial form, we prove the solution to the formulated problem exists globally. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through the simulation.
Autonomous exploration is an application of growing importance in robotics. A promising strategy is ergodic trajectory planning, whereby an agent spends in each area a fraction of time which is proportional to its probability information density func tion. In this paper, a decentralized ergodic multi-agent trajectory planning algorithm featuring limited communication constraints is proposed. The agents trajectories are designed by optimizing a weighted cost encompassing ergodicity, control energy and close-distance operation objectives. To solve the underlying optimal control problem, a second-order descent iterative method coupled with a projection operator in the form of an optimal feedback controller is used. Exhaustive numerical analyses show that the multi-agent solution allows a much more efficient exploration in terms of completion task time and control energy distribution by leveraging collaboration among agents.
We propose a reachability approach for infinite and finite horizon multi-objective optimization problems for low-thrust spacecraft trajectory design. The main advantage of the proposed method is that the Pareto front can be efficiently constructed fr om the zero level set of the solution to a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. We demonstrate the proposed method by applying it to a low-thrust spacecraft trajectory design problem. By deriving the analytic expression for the Hamiltonian and the optimal control policy, we are able to efficiently compute the backward reachable set and reconstruct the optimal trajectories. Furthermore, we show that any reconstructed trajectory will be guaranteed to be weakly Pareto optimal. The proposed method can be used as a benchmark for future research of applying reachability analysis to low-thrust spacecraft trajectory design.
This paper presents the acados software package, a collection of solvers for fast embedded optimization intended for fast embedded applications. Its interfaces to higher-level languages make it useful for quickly designing an optimization-based contr ol algorithm by putting together different algorithmic components that can be readily connected and interchanged. Since the core of acados is written on top of a high-performance linear algebra library, we do not sacrifice computational performance. Thus, we aim to provide both flexibility and performance through modularity, without the need to rely on automatic code generation, which facilitates maintainability and extensibility. The main features of acados are: efficient optimal control algorithms targeting embedded devices implemented in C, linear algebra based on the high-performance BLASFEO library, user-friendly interfaces to Matlab and Python, and compatibility with the modeling language of CasADi. acados is free and open-source software released under the permissive BSD 2-Clause license.

The recent works on quadrotor have focused on more and more challenging tasks on increasingly complex systems. Systems are often augmented with slung loads, inverted pendulums or arms, and accomplish complex tasks such as going through a window, gras ping, throwing or catching. Usually, controllers are designed to accomplish a specific task on a specific system using analytic solutions, so each application needs long preparations. On the other hand, the direct multiple shooting approach is able to solve complex problems without any analytic development, by using on-the-shelf optimization solver. In this paper, we show that this approach is able to solve a wide range of problems relevant to quadrotor systems, from on-line trajectory generation for quadrotors, to going through a window for a quadrotor-and-pendulum system, through manipulation tasks for a aerial manipulator.
