Safe Controller Optimization for Quadrotors with Gaussian Processes
, 2017 One of the most fundamental problems when designing controllers for dynamic systems is the tuning of the controller parameters. Typically, a model of the system is used to obtain an initial controller, but ultimately the controller parameters must be ...

Prioritized motion-force control of constrained fully-actuated robots: "Task Space Inverse Dynamics" [PDF]
, 2014 Pre-print submitted to "Robotics and Autonomous Systems"We present a new framework for prioritized multi-task motion-force control of fully-actuated robots. This work is established on a careful review and comparison of the state of the art. Some control

A Family of Iterative Gauss-Newton Shooting Methods for Nonlinear Optimal Control
, 2017 This paper introduces a family of iterative algorithms for unconstrained nonlinear optimal control. We generalize the well-known iLQR algorithm to different multiple-shooting variants, combining advantages like straight-forward initialization and a ...

, 2014 Rapidly-exploring random trees (RRTs) are popular in motion planning because they find solutions efficiently to single-query problems. Optimal RRTs (RRT*s) extend RRTs to the problem of finding the optimal solution, but in doing so asymptotically find ...

Topological robotics: motion planning in projective spaces
, 2002 We study an elementary problem of topological robotics: rotation of a line, which is fixed by a revolving joint at a base point: one wants to bring the line from its initial position to a final position by a continuous motion in the space. The final goal
