Dynamical systems with a distributed yet interconnected structure, like multi-rigid-body robots or large-scale multi-agent systems, introduce valuable sparsity into the system dynamics that can be exploited in an optimal control setting for speeding up computation and improving numerical conditioning. Conventional approaches for solving the Optimal Control Problem (OCP) rarely capitalize on such structural sparsity, and hence suffer from a cubic computational complexity growth as the dimensionality of the system scales. In this paper, we present an OCP formulation that relies on graphical models to capture the sparsely-interconnected nature of the system dynamics. Such a representational choice allows the use of contemporary graphical inference algorithms that enable our solver to achieve a linear time complexity in the state and control dimensions as well as the time horizon. We demonstrate the numerical and computational advantages of our approach on a canonical dynamical system in simulation.

171 - Mathieu Geisert 2016
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.
In this paper, we investigate a sparse optimal control of continuous-time stochastic systems. We adopt the dynamic programming approach and analyze the optimal control via the value function. Due to the non-smoothness of the $L^0$ cost functional, in general, the value function is not differentiable in the domain. Then, we characterize the value function as a viscosity solution to the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. Based on the result, we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the $L^0$ optimality, which immediately gives the optimal feedback map. Especially for control-affine systems, we consider the relationship with $L^1$ optimal control problem and show an equivalence theorem.
This work addresses the problem of kinematic trajectory planning for mobile manipulators with non-holonomic constraints, and holonomic operational-space tracking constraints. We obtain whole-body trajectories and time-varying kinematic feedback contr ollers by solving a Constrained Sequential Linear Quadratic Optimal Control problem. The employed algorithm features high efficiency through a continuous-time formulation that benefits from adaptive step-size integrators and through linear complexity in the number of integration steps. In a first application example, we solve kinematic trajectory planning problems for a 26 DoF wheeled robot. In a second example, we apply Constrained SLQ to a real-world mobile manipulator in a receding-horizon optimal control fashion, where we obtain optimal controllers and plans at rates up to 100 Hz.
The problem of constrained coverage path planning involves a robot trying to cover maximum area of an environment under some constraints that appear as obstacles in the map. Out of the several coverage path planning methods, we consider augmenting th e linear sweep-based coverage method to achieve minimum energy/ time optimality along with maximum area coverage. In addition, we also study the effects of variation of different parameters on the performance of the modified method.
We develop optimal control strategies for Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) that are required to meet complex specifications imposed by traffic laws and cultural expectations of reasonable driving behavior. We formulate these specifications as rules, and spe cify their priorities by constructing a priority structure. We propose a recursive framework, in which the satisfaction of the rules in the priority structure are iteratively relaxed based on their priorities. Central to this framework is an optimal control problem, where convergence to desired states is achieved using Control Lyapunov Functions (CLFs), and safety is enforced through Control Barrier Functions (CBFs). We also show how the proposed framework can be used for after-the-fact, pass / fail evaluation of trajectories - a given trajectory is rejected if we can find a controller producing a trajectory that leads to less violation of the rule priority structure. We present case studies with multiple driving scenarios to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.
