Flock-Formation Control of Multi-Agent Systems using Imperfect Relative Distance Measurements

ICRA 2024poster

We present distributed distance-based control (DDC), a novel approach for controlling a multi-agent system, such that it achieves a desired formation, in a resource-constrained setting. Our controller is fully distributed and only requires local state-estimation and scalar measurements of inter-agen…

Multi-Agent Spatial Predictive Control with Application to Drone Flocking

ICRA 2023poster

We introduce Spatial Predictive Control (SPC), a technique for solving the following problem: given a collection of robotic agents with black-box positional low-level controllers (PLLCs) and a mission-specific distributed cost function, how can a distributed controller achieve and maintain cost-func…

GoTube: Scalable Statistical Verification of Continuous-Depth Models

AAAI 2022technical

We introduce a new statistical verification algorithm that formally quantifies the behavioral robustness of any time-continuous process formulated as a continuous-depth model. Our algorithm solves a set of global optimization (Go) problems over a given time horizon to construct a tight enclosure (Tu…

On the Verification of Neural ODEs with Stochastic Guarantees

AAAI 2021technical

We show that Neural ODEs, an emerging class of time-continuous neural networks, can be verified by solving a set of global-optimization problems. For this purpose, we introduce Stochastic Lagrangian Reachability (SLR), an abstraction-based technique for constructing a tight Reachtube (an over-approx…
