We study a time minimization problem on the group of motions of a plane with admissible control in a half-disk. The considered control system describes a model of a car that can move forward on a plane and turn in place. Optimal…
We apply an extension of the Pontryagin Maximum Principle to derive time-optimal controls of two-level quantum systems by means of piecewise constant pulses. Global optimal solutions are obtained for state-to-state transfer in the cases…
Task and Motion Planning has made great progress in solving hard sequential manipulation problems. However, a gap between such planning formulations and control methods for reactive execution remains. In this paper we propose a model…
Model predictive control (MPC) has established itself as the primary methodology for constrained control, enabling general-purpose robot autonomy in diverse real-world scenarios. However, for most problems of interest, MPC relies on the…
In complex engineered systems, completing an objective is sometimes not enough. The system must be able to reach a set performance characteristic, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle flying from point A to point B, \textit{under 10 seconds}.…
This paper offers a unified perspective on different approaches to the solution of optimal control problems through the lens of constrained sequential quadratic programming. In particular, it allows us to find the relationships between…
Nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots are often required to implement algorithms designed for holonomic kinematic systems. This creates a velocity tracking problem for the actual wheeled mobile robot. In this paper, we investigate the issue of…
In this paper, the Pontryagin-type maximum principle for optimal control of quantum stochastic systems in fermion fields is obtained. These systems have gained significant prominence in numerous quantum applications ranging from physical…
A geometric method is described to characterize the different kinds of extremals in optimal control theory. This comes from the use of a presymplectic constraint algorithm starting from the necessary conditions given by Pontryagin's Maximum…
This article considers a discrete-time robust optimal control problem on matrix Lie groups. The underlying system is assumed to be perturbed by exogenous unmeasured bounded disturbances, and the control problem is posed as a min-max optimal…
We propose an analysis of the time-optimal control of SU(2) quantum operations. By using the Pontryagin Maximum Principle, we show how to determine the optimal trajectory reaching a given target state. Explicit analytical solutions are…
Optimization in machine learning typically deals with the minimization of empirical objectives defined by training data. However, the ultimate goal of learning is to minimize the error on future data (test error), for which the training…
In this paper, we present a novel reinforcement learning framework designed to optimize molecular dynamics by focusing on the entire trajectory rather than just the final molecular configuration. Leveraging a stochastic version of…
Stochastic Optimal Control Problems (SOCPs) plays a major role in the sequential decision-making challenges. There exist various iterative algorithms, under framework of stochastic maximum principle, that sequentially find the optimal…
In this article we derive a Pontryagin maximum principle (PMP) for discrete-time optimal control problems on matrix Lie groups. The PMP provides first order necessary conditions for optimality; these necessary conditions typically yield two…
Consider a general nonlinear optimal control problem in finite dimension, with constant state and/or control delays. By the Pontryagin Maximum Principle, any optimal trajectory is the projection of a Pontryagin extremal. We establish that,…
This paper presents development of an optimal feedback linearization control (OFLC) for interior permanent magnet (PM) synchronous machines operating in a non steady-sate operating point, i.e., varying torque and speed, to achieve precision…
We introduce a new optimal control problem where the controlled dynamical system depends on multi-order (incommensurate) fractional differential equations. The cost functional to be maximized is of Bolza type and depends on incommensurate…
This paper is concerned with devising the nonlinear optimal guidance for intercepting a stationary target with a fixed impact time. According to Pontryagin's Maximum Principle (PMP), some optimality conditions for the solutions of the…
