Optimal control problems involve the difficult task of determining time-varying profiles through dynamic optimization. Such problems become even more complex in practical situatio...
—Robotic systems need to be able to plan control actions that are robust to the inherent uncertainty in the real world. This uncertainty arises due to uncertain state estimation,...

In this paper we discuss a robotic task requiring dynamicalsafety in the face of an intermittent environment. We define and offer examples of this notion. We then construct a dyna...

Abstract-- This paper considers the problem of model reduction for controlled systems. The paper considers a dual/adjoint formulation of the general optimization problem to minimiz...
—We motivate the problem of designing a subset of the edge weights in a graph, to shape the spectrum of an associated linear time-invariant dynamics. We address a canonical desig...
