Proxy-Based Sliding Mode Control: A Safer Extension of PID Position Control
—High-gain proportional–integral–derivative (PID) position control involves some risk of unsafe behaviors in cases of abnormal events, such as unexpected environment contacts...

Passive-Set-Position-Modulation Framework for Interactive Robotic Systems
—We propose a novel framework, passive set-position modulation (PSPM), which enables us to connect a (continuoustime) robot’s position to a sequence of slowly-updating/sparse (...

A Probabilistic Particle-Control Approximation of Chance-Constrained Stochastic Predictive Control
—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,...
