Control Barrier Functions for Signal Temporal Logic Tasks

Lars Lindemann, Dimos V. Dimarogonas · 5 Jul 2018

The need for computationally-efficient control methods of dynamical systems under temporal logic tasks has recently become more apparent. Existing methods are computationally demanding and hence often not applicable in practice. Especially with respect to multi-robot systems, these methods do not scale computationally. In this letter, we propose a framework that is based on control barrier…

Nonsmooth Barrier Functions With Applications to Multi-Robot Systems

Paul Glotfelter, Jorge Cortés, Magnus Egerstedt · 1 Jun 2017

As multi-agent systems become more wide-spread and versatile, the ability to satisfy multiple system-level constraints grows increasingly important. In applications ranging from automated cruise control to safety in robot swarms, barrier functions have emerged as a tool to provably meet such constraints by guaranteeing forward invariance of desirable sets. However, satisfying multiple constraints typically implies…

Input-to-State Safety With Control Barrier Functions

Shishir Kolathaya, Aaron D. Ames · 6 Jul 2018

This letter presents a new notion of input-to-state safe control barrier functions (ISSf-CBFs), which ensure safety of nonlinear dynamical systems under input disturbances. Similar to how safety conditions are specified in terms of forward invariance of a set, input-to-state safety conditions are specified in terms of forward invariance of a slightly larger set. In this…

Learning an Approximate Model Predictive Controller With Guarantees

Michael Hertneck, Johannes Kohler, Sebastian Trimpe et al. · 4 Jun 2018

A supervised learning framework is proposed to approximate a model predictive controller (MPC) with reduced computational complexity and guarantees on stability and constraint satisfaction. The framework can be used for a wide class of nonlinear systems. Any standard supervised learning technique (e.g., neural networks) can be employed to approximate the MPC from samples. In order…

A Linear Algorithm for Optimization Over Directed Graphs With Geometric Convergence

Ran Xin, Usman A. Khan · 8 May 2018

In this letter, we study distributed optimization, where a network of agents, abstracted as a directed graph, collaborates to minimize the average of locally known convex functions. Most of the existing approaches over directed graphs are based on push-sum (type) techniques, which use an independent algorithm to asymptotically learn either the left or right eigenvector…

IEEE Control Systems Letters template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the IEEE Control Systems Letters format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the IEEE Control Systems Letters template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IEEE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does IEEE Control Systems Letters use?
IEEE Control Systems Letters uses Numbered (IEEE) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, "A representative article title," IEEE Control Systems Letters, vol. 12, no. 3, pp. 45–58, 2023.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to IEEE Control Systems Letters?
No. DocuGuru generates the ieeecolor LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IEEE-ready IEEE Control Systems Letters document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the IEEE Control Systems Letters template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the IEEE Control Systems Letters format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is IEEE Control Systems Letters?
IEEE Control Systems Letters, published by IEEE. It is a engineering and computer science journal, published by IEEE.
Can I export a submission-ready IEEE Control Systems Letters PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official IEEE Control Systems Letters template (the ieeecolor class) that is ready to submit to IEEE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the IEEE Control Systems Letters template cost?
You can start writing in the IEEE Control Systems Letters template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready IEEE Control Systems Letters PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
