Adaptive Utility-Based Scheduling in Resource-Constrained Systems
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling jobs in soft real-time systems, where the utility of completing each job decreases over time. We present a utility-based framework fo...

Quantized optimal control of discrete-time systems
In this paper we consider a quantized discrete-time linear quadratic regulator (DLQR) problem, namely a DLQR problem where the input u may only take values in a given finite set ...

Learning Utility Surfaces for Movement Selection
— Humanoid robots are highly redundant systems with respect to the tasks they are asked to perform. This redundancy manifests itself in the number of degrees of freedom of the ro...

Optimal Control in Large Stochastic Multi-agent Systems
Abstract. We study optimal control in large stochastic multi-agent systems in continuous space and time. We consider multi-agent systems where agents have independent dynamics with...

A Two-Level Model of Anticipation-Based Motor Learning for Whole Body Motion
Abstract. We present a model of motor learning based on a combination of Operational Space Control and Optimal Control. Anticipatory processes are used both in the learning of the ...

Optimal control of a parabolic PDE system arising in plasma transport via diffusivity-interior-boundary actuation
— In this paper, we study an optimal control problem arising in plasma transport which is governed by a singularly perturbed system. Time-scale separation allows us to focus on a...

Constrained optimal control theory for differential linear repetitive processes
Abstract. Differential repetitive processes are a distinct class of continuous-discrete twodimensional linear systems of both systems theoretic and applications interest. These pr...
