Safety-Critical and Distributed Nonlinear Predictive Controllers for Teams of Quadrupedal Robots

This paper presents a novel hierarchical, safety-critical control framework that integrates distributed nonlinear model predictive controllers (DNMPCs) with control barrier functions (CBFs) to enable cooperative locomotion of multi-agent quadrupedal robots in complex environments. While NMPC-based m…
