Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) is an important tool used to address situations with multiple concurrent control objectives, such as safety and goal convergence. In this paper we investigate the similarities between CBFs and so-called…
In this work, we propose a Model Predictive Control (MPC) formulation incorporating two distinct horizons: a prediction horizon and a constraint horizon. This approach enables a deeper understanding of how constraints influence key system…
Robotic arms are increasingly deployed in uncertain environments, yet conventional control pipelines often become rigid and brittle when exposed to perturbations or incomplete information. Virtual Model Control (VMC) enables compliant…
This paper considers how to ensure that a system of fixed wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can avoid collisions. To do so we develop a novel method for creating a barrier function, which is similar to a Lyapunov function and can be used…
The problem of dynamic locomotion over rough terrain requires both accurate foot placement together with an emphasis on dynamic stability. Existing approaches to this problem prioritize immediate safe foot placement over longer term dynamic…
In this paper we propose an implicit force control scheme for a one-link flexible manipulator that interact with a compliant environment. The controller was based in the mathematical model of the manipulator, considering the dynamics of the…
Safety filters leveraging control barrier functions (CBFs) are highly effective for enforcing safe behavior on complex systems. It is often easier to synthesize CBFs for a Reduced order Model (RoM), and track the resulting safe behavior on…

In multi-obstacle environments, real-time performance and safety in robot motion control have long been challenging issues, as conventional methods often struggle to balance the two. In this paper, we propose a novel motion control…
Manipulating three-dimensional (3D) deformable objects presents significant challenges for robotic systems due to their infinite-dimensional state space and complex deformable dynamics. This paper proposes a novel model-free approach for…
Lyapunov redesign is a classical technique that uses a nominal control and its corresponding nominal Lyapunov function to design a discontinuous control, such that it compensates the uncertainties and disturbances. In this paper, the idea…

Control barrier functions guarantee safety but typically require accurate system models. Parametric uncertainty invalidates these guarantees. Existing robust methods maintain safety via worst-case bounds, limiting performance, while modular…
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), commonly known as drones, have many potential uses in real world applications. Drones require advanced planning and navigation algorithms to enable them to safely move through and interact with the world…
A new framework is developed for control of constrained nonlinear systems with structured parametric uncertainties. Forward invariance of a safe set is achieved through online parameter adaptation and data-driven model estimation. The new…
Collision avoidance is a problem largely studied in robotics, particularly in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications. Among the main challenges in this area are hardware limitations, the need for rapid response, and the uncertainty…
