We synthesize shared control protocols subject to probabilistic temporal logic specifications. More specifically, we develop a framework in which a human and an autonomy protocol can issue commands to carry out a certain task. We blend…
In discrete-event system control, the worst-case time complexity for computing a system's observer is exponential in the number of that system's states. This results in practical difficulties since some problems require calculating multiple…
In the Ramadge-Wonham supervisory control theory the only interaction mechanism between supervisor and plant is that the supervisor may enable/disable events from the plant and the plant makes a final decision about which of the enabled…
Reactive synthesis is a paradigm for automatically building correct-by-construction systems that interact with an unknown or adversarial environment. We study how to do reactive synthesis when part of the specification of the system is that…
Many variability management techniques rely on sophisticated language extension or tools to support it. While this can provide dedicated syntax and operational mechanism but it struggling practical adaptation for the cost of adapting new…
Despite their irresistible success, deep learning algorithms still heavily rely on annotated data. On the other hand, unsupervised settings pose many challenges, especially about determining the right inductive bias in diverse scenarios.…
In decentralized systems, branching behaviors naturally arise due to communication, unmodeled dynamics and system abstraction, which can not be adequately captured by the traditional sequencing-based language equivalence. As a finer…
This paper considers the problem of decentralized analysis and control synthesis to verify and ensure properties like stability and dissipativity of a large-scale networked system comprised of linear subsystems interconnected in an…
This paper is concerned with the design of control policies from example datasets. The case considered is when just a black box description of the system to be controlled is available and the system is affected by actuation constraints.…
We introduce anticipation: a method for constructing a controllable generative model of a temporal point process (the event process) conditioned asynchronously on realizations of a second, correlated process (the control process). We…
In this paper we study multi-agent discrete-event systems where the agents can be divided into several groups, and within each group the agents have similar or identical state transition structures. We employ a relabeling map to generate a…
We present a differentiable framework capable of learning a wide variety of compositions of simple policies that we call skills. By recursively composing skills with themselves, we can create hierarchies that display complex behavior. Skill…
We propose an on-line supervisory control scheme for discrete event systems (DESs), where a control specification is described by a fragment of linear temporal logic. On the product automaton of the DES and an acceptor for the…
The activity framework is a promising model-based design approach for Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS). It is used in industry for specification and analysis of FMS. It provides an intuitive specification language with a hierarchical…
To successfully tackle challenging manipulation tasks, autonomous agents must learn a diverse set of skills and how to combine them. Recently, self-supervised agents that set their own abstract goals by exploiting the discovered structure…
Much has been said about observability in system theory and control; however, it has been recently that observability in complex networks has seriously attracted the attention of researchers. This paper examines the state-of-the-art and…
The observable behavior of a system usually carries useful information about its internal state, properties, and potential future behaviors. In this paper, we introduce configuration monitoring to determine an unknown configuration of a…
It has been increasingly recognized that effective human-AI co-creation requires more than prompts and results, but an environment with empowering structures that facilitate exploration, planning, iteration, as well as control and…
Human action is naturally compositional: humans can easily recognize and perform actions with objects that are different from those used in training demonstrations. In this paper, we study the compositionality of action by looking into the…
In this work, we present a compositional safety controller synthesis approach for the class of discrete-time linear control systems. Here, we leverage a state-of-the-art result on the computation of robust controlled invariant sets. To…
