Computation of Feedback Control Laws Based on Switched Tracking of Demonstrations
A common approach in robotics is to learn tasks by generalizing from special cases given by a so-called demonstrator. In this paper, we apply this paradigm and present an algorithm that uses a demonstrator (typically given by a trajectory optimizer) to automatically synthesize feedback controllers for steering a system described by ordinary differential equations into a goal set. The resulting feedback control law switches between the demonstrations that it uses as reference trajectories. In comparison to the direct use of trajectory optimization as a control law, for example, in the form of model predictive control, this allows for a much simpler and more efficient implementation of the controller. The synthesis algorithm comes with rigorous convergence and optimality results, and computational experiments confirm its efficiency.

Sub-optimal Tracking in Switched Systems with Controlled Subsystems and Fixed-mode Sequence using Approximate Dynamic Programming
Optimal tracking in switched systems with controlled subsystem and Discrete-time (DT) dynamics is investigated. A feedback control policy is generated such that a) the system tracks the desired reference signal, and b) t…
Input Delay Compensation for a Class of Switched Linear Systems via Averaging Exact Predictor Feedbacks
The key challenges in design of predictor-based control laws for switched systems with arbitrary switching and long input delay are the potential unavailability of the future values of the switching signal (at current ti…
Non-overshooting output shaping for switched linear systems under arbitrary switching using eigenstructure assignment
We consider the analytical control design for a pair of switched linear multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems that are subject to arbitrary switching signals. A state feedback controller design method is proposed…

We develop delay-compensating feedback laws for linear switched systems with time-dependent switching. Because the future values of the switching signal, which are needed for constructing an exact predictor-feedback law,…

In this paper, we design feedback control laws for soft robots modelled using the Cosserat rod, which is spatially discretised using the Piecewise Constant Strain (PCS) approach. The PCS approach transforms the nonlinear…
