Constraint-based control approaches offer a flexible way to specify robotic manipulation tasks and execute them on robots with many degrees of freedom. However, the specification of task constraints and their associated priorities usually…

Learning from Demonstration allows robots to mimic human actions. However, these methods do not model constraints crucial to ensure safety of the learned skill. Moreover, even when explicitly modelling constraints, they rely on the…

Nonlinear dynamical behaviours in engineering applications can be approximated by linear-parameter varying (LPV) representations, but obtaining precise model knowledge to develop a control algorithm is difficult in practice. In this paper,…

Human motor control remains agile and robust despite limited sensory information for feedback, a property attributed to the body's ability to perform morphological computation through muscle coordination with variable impedance. However, it…

Learning to perform perfect tracking tasks based on measurement data is desirable in the controller design of systems operating repetitively. This motivates the present paper to seek an optimization-based design approach for iterative…

Recent advances in learning for control allow to synthesize vehicle controllers from learned system dynamics and maintain robust stability guarantees. However, no approach is well-suited for training linear time-invariant (LTI) controllers…

When applying imitation learning techniques to fit a policy from expert demonstrations, one can take advantage of prior stability/robustness assumptions on the expert's policy and incorporate such control-theoretic prior knowledge…
