We consider the covariance steering problem for nonlinear control-affine systems. Our objective is to find an optimal control strategy to steer the state of a system from an initial distribution to a target one whose mean and covariance are given. Due to the nonlinearity, the existing techniques for linear covariance steering problems are not directly applicable. By leveraging the celebrated Girsanov theorem, we formulate the problem into an optimization over the space path distributions. We then adopt a generalized proximal gradient algorithm to solve this optimization, where each update requires solving a linear covariance steering problem. Our algorithm is guaranteed to converge to a local optimal solution with a sublinear rate. In addition, each iteration of the algorithm can be achieved in closed form, and thus the computational complexity of it is insensitive to the resolution of time-discretization.

In this paper, we propose an incremental abstraction method for dynamically over-approximating nonlinear systems in a bounded domain by solving a sequence of linear programs, resulting in a sequence of affine upper and lower hyperplanes with expandin
g operating regions. Although the affine abstraction problem can be solved offline using a single linear program, existing approaches suffer from a computation space complexity that grows exponentially with the state dimension. Hence, the motivation for incremental abstraction is to reduce the space complexity for high-dimensional systems, but at the cost of yielding potentially worse abstractions/overapproximations. Specifically, we start with an operating region that is a subregion of the state space and compute two affine hyperplanes that bracket the nonlinear function locally. Then, by incrementally expanding the operating region, we dynamically update the two affine hyperplanes such that we eventually yield hyperplanes that are guaranteed to over-approximate the nonlinear system over the entire domain. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated using numerical examples of high-dimensional nonlinear systems.
This manuscript presents an algorithm for obtaining an approximation of nonlinear high order control affine dynamical systems, that leverages the controlled trajectories as the central unit of information. As the fundamental basis elements leveraged
in approximation, higher order control occupation kernels represent iterated integration after multiplication by a given controller in a vector valued reproducing kernel Hilbert space. In a regularized regression setting, the unique optimizer for a particular optimization problem is expressed as a linear combination of these occupation kernels, which converts an infinite dimensional optimization problem to a finite dimensional optimization problem through the representer theorem. Interestingly, the vector valued structure of the Hilbert space allows for simultaneous approximation of the drift and control effectiveness components of the control affine system. Several experiments are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.
Robust control is a core approach for controlling systems with performance guarantees that are robust to modeling error, and is widely used in real-world systems. However, current robust control approaches can only handle small system uncertainty, an
d thus require significant effort in system identification prior to controller design. We present an online approach that robustly controls a nonlinear system under large model uncertainty. Our approach is based on decomposing the problem into two sub-problems, robust control design (which assumes small model uncertainty) and chasing consistent models, which can be solved using existing tools from control theory and online learning, respectively. We provide a learning convergence analysis that yields a finite mistake bound on the number of times performance requirements are not met and can provide strong safety guarantees, by bounding the worst-case state deviation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first approach for online robust control of nonlinear systems with such learning theoretic and safety guarantees. We also show how to instantiate this framework for general robotic systems, demonstrating the practicality of our approach.
This paper studies the extremum seeking control (ESC) problem for a class of constrained nonlinear systems. Specifically, we focus on a family of constraints allowing to reformulate the original nonlinear system in the so-called input-output normal f
orm. To steer the system to optimize a performance function without knowing its explicit form, we propose a novel numerical optimization-based extremum seeking control (NOESC) design consisting of a constrained numerical optimization method and an inversion based feedforward controller. In particular, a projected gradient descent algorithm is exploited to produce the state sequence to optimize the performance function, whereas a suitable boundary value problem accommodates the finite-time state transition between each two consecutive points of the state sequence. Compared to available NOESC methods, the proposed approach i) can explicitly deal with output constraints; ii) the performance function can consider a direct dependence on the states of the internal dynamics; iii) the internal dynamics do not have to be necessarily stable. The effectiveness of the proposed ESC scheme is shown through extensive numerical simulations.
A new belief space planning algorithm, called covariance steering Belief RoadMap (CS-BRM), is introduced, which is a multi-query algorithm for motion planning of dynamical systems under simultaneous motion and observation uncertainties. CS-BRM extend
s the probabilistic roadmap (PRM) approach to belief spaces and is based on the recently developed theory of covariance steering (CS) that enables guaranteed satisfaction of terminal belief constraints in finite-time. The nodes in the CS-BRM are sampled in belief space and represent distributions of the system states. A covariance steering controller steers the system from one BRM node to another, thus acting as an edge controller of the corresponding belief graph that ensures belief constraint satisfaction. After the edge controller is computed, a specific edge cost is assigned to that edge. The CS-BRM algorithm allows the sampling of non-stationary belief nodes, and thus is able to explore the velocity space and find efficient motion plans. The performance of CS-BRM is evaluated and compared to a previous belief space planning method, demonstrating the benefits of the proposed approach.
