Reference Governors

  • It is my pleasure to welcome Victor Freire Melgizo as the newest member of the ROCC lab. Victor is joining us from the University of Wisconsin Madison, where he designed and implemented path planning algorithms and control barrier functions on
  • Input Saturated Output Admissible Set
    Maximal Output Admissible Sets (MOAS) are the set of all initial states and references such that the output response is always constraint admissible. Introduced in [1], the MOAS holds a special place in constrained control theory and 
  • Human Robot Interaction Experiment
    This video represents a significant milestone in Kelly Merckaert's research on safe Human-Robot Interaction. The control laws used in these experiments were developed during Kelly's 6-month research internship at ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder, although their
  • Constrained control of a robotic manipulator experiment
    This video, titled "The Explicit Reference Governor for Real-Time Safe Control of a Robotic Manipulator"  was presented at the 2020 IROS Workshop: Bringing constraint-based robot programming to real-world applications. These
  • Human-Swarm teleoperation experiment
    This is the support video for the article "A Distributed Explicit Reference Governor for the Safe On-Board Control of a Nano-Quadrotor Swarm" submitted to IEEE Transactions on Robotics. The paper summarizes the work done by Bryan Convens during
  • Terrence Skibik will be joining the ROCC lab to pursue his PhD in Systems and Control. I met Terry at ACC '18 (and again at CDC '18), where he was presenting the results of his undergraduate research project. He made a lasting
  • Distributed ERG for Crazyswarm
    The video is one of the final experiments performed by Bryan Convens at the end of his six-month stay at ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder. During his research stay, Bryan developed a Distributed ERG add-on to the Crazyswarm framework. The addon
  • Comic-style illustration of the principle behind Reference Governors
    It is my pleasure to announce the release of the Explicit Reference Governor Toolbox (ERGT), now available on GitHub.  At the present stage, this MATLAB toolbox can be used to systematically design an add-on unit for the constrained
