Abstract

Nonlinear stabilization using control contraction metric (CCM) method usually involves an online optimization problem to compute a minimal geodesic (a shortest path) between pair of states, which is not desirable for real-time applications. This paper introduces a continuous-time dynamic realization which distributes the computational cost of the optimization problem over the time domain. The basic idea is to force the internal state of the dynamic controller to converge to a geodesic using covariant derivative information. A numerical example illustrates the proposed approach.
