Multi-Agent Clarity-Aware Dynamic Coverage with Gaussian Processes

no code implementations26 Mar 2024 Devansh R. Agrawal, Dimitra Panagou

This paper presents two algorithms for multi-agent dynamic coverage in spatiotemporal environments, where the coverage algorithms are informed by the method of data assimilation.

Robust Safety-Critical Control for Systems with Sporadic Measurements and Dwell Time Constraints

no code implementations6 Mar 2024 Joseph Breeden, Luca Zaccarian, Dimitra Panagou

This paper presents extensions of control barrier function (CBF) theory to systems with disturbances wherein a controller only receives measurements infrequently and operates open-loop between measurements, while still satisfying state constraints.

Aerial Swarm Defense using Interception and Herding Strategies

no code implementations4 Jun 2023 Vishnu S. Chipade, Dimitra Panagou

This paper presents a multi-mode solution to the problem of defending a circular protected area (target) from a wide range of attacks by swarms of risk-taking and/or risk-averse attacking agents (attackers).

Safety Under Uncertainty: Tight Bounds with Risk-Aware Control Barrier Functions

no code implementations3 Apr 2023 Mitchell Black, Georgios Fainekos, Bardh Hoxha, Danil Prokhorov, Dimitra Panagou

We propose a novel class of risk-aware control barrier functions (RA-CBFs) for the control of stochastic safety-critical systems.

FORESEE: Prediction with Expansion-Compression Unscented Transform for Online Policy Optimization

1 code implementation26 Sep 2022 Hardik Parwana, Dimitra Panagou

Under state and control input constraints, the state prediction is subsequently used in tandem with a proposed variant of constrained gradient-descent for online update of policy parameters in a receding horizon fashion.

Adversary Detection and Resilient Control for Multi-Agent Systems

no code implementations21 Jul 2022 Aquib Mustafa, Dimitra Panagou

Then, based on the analysis and detection results, a resilient QP-based controller is presented to ensure safety and liveness constraints for intact agents.

IDCAIS: Inter-Defender Collision-Aware Interception Strategy against Multiple Attackers

no code implementations22 Dec 2021 Vishnu S. Chipade, Dimitra Panagou

In particular, in this paper, the defenders are assigned to intercept attackers using a mixed-integer quadratic program (MIQP) that: 1) minimizes the sum of times taken by defenders to capture the attackers under time-optimal control, as well as 2) helps eliminate or delay possible future collisions among the defenders on the optimal trajectories.

Robust Control Barrier Functions under High Relative Degree and Input Constraints for Satellite Trajectories

no code implementations8 Jul 2021 Joseph Breeden, Dimitra Panagou

Three special forms of Robust CBFs (RCBFs) are developed as functions of the input constraints, system dynamics, and disturbance bounds, such that the resultant RCBF condition on the control input is always feasible for states in the RCBF zero sublevel set.

Adversarial Resilience for Sampled-Data Systems under High-Relative-Degree Safety Constraints

no code implementations9 Feb 2021 James Usevitch, Dimitra Panagou

However, these works do not consider scenarios where a subset of the agents are behaving adversarially with the intent to violate safety bounds.

Herding an Adversarial Swarm in Three-dimensional Spaces

no code implementations8 Jul 2020 Weifan Zhang, Vishnu S. Chipade, Dimitra Panagou

We extend our 2D `StringNet Herding' approach, in which a closed formation of string-barriers is established around the adversarial swarm to confine their motion and herd them to a safe area, to 3D spaces by introducing 3D-StringNet.
