  • Serial interconnections of 1-contracting and 2-contracting systems 

    Ofir, Ron; Margaliot, Michael; Levron, Yoash; Slotine, Jean-Jacques (IEEE, 2021-12-14)
    The flow of contracting systems contracts 1dimensional polygons (i.e. lines) at an exponential rate. One reason for the usefulness of contracting systems is that many interconnections of contracting sub-systems yield an ...
  • Avoiding Dense and Dynamic Obstacles in Enclosed Spaces: Application to Moving in Crowds 

    Huber, Lukas; Slotine, Jean-Jacques; Billard, Aude (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022-10)
    This article presents a closed-form approach to constraining a flow within a given volume and around objects. The flow is guaranteed to converge and to stop at a single fixed point. The obstacle avoidance problem is inverted ...
  • Optimizing Trajectories with Closed-Loop Dynamic SQP 

    Singh, Sumeet; Slotine, Jean-Jacques; Sindhwani, Vikas (IEEE, 2022-05-23)
    Indirect trajectory optimization methods such as Differential Dynamic Programming (DDP) have found considerable success when only planning under dynamic feasibility constraints. Meanwhile, nonlinear programming (NLP) has ...
