Lipschitz constants for linear MPC are useful for certifying inherent robustness against unmodeled disturbances or robustness for neural network-based approximations of the control law. In both cases, knowing the minimum Lipschitz constant leads to less conservative certifications. Computing this minimum Lipschitz constant is trivial given the explicit MPC. However, the computation of the explicit MPC may be intractable for complex systems. The paper discusses a method for efficiently computing the minimum Lipschitz constant without using the explicit control law. The proposed method simplifies a recently presented mixed-integer linear program (MILP) that computes the minimum Lipschitz constant. The simplification is obtained by exploiting saturation and symmetries of the control law and irrelevant constraints of the optimal control problem.
We show that a special class of (nonconvex) NMPC problems admits an exact solution by reformulating them as a finite number of convex subproblems, extending previous results to the multi-input case. Our approach is ap...

In autonomous multi-robot systems robot-to {robot/object} localization methods can be utilized to increase the robustness and to achieve a precise and robust localization of the individuals. This paper investigates on the performance of two promising systems: UVDAR, a vision-based mutual localization in the UV spectrum, which has shown to be effective in swarm formation and leader-following tasks, and PoET, which is a deep learning-based visual relative object pose estimator. To evaluate these methods, we collected datasets in a controlled indoor environment equipped with a motion capture system for precise ground truth measurements. Our evaluation considers two key aspects: the absolute error between measured and true relative poses, and the consistency of the provided measurement uncertainty estimates with the actual errors. We introduce a novel framework for evaluating the consistency of relative pose measurements. This framework supports various error definitions and leverages spline-based trajectory representations to generate smooth, $C^control$ -continuous reference measurements. Both the UVDAR dataset and the evaluation framework are made publicly accessible to foster further research and development in this field.

This paper introduces a training program focused on anesthesia modeling and control. The curriculum centers on the utilization of an open-source patient simulator and covers open-loop analysis, relative gain array analysis, and modeling for control purposes, preparing students for closed-loop anesthesia management. A decentralized approach to controller tuning is adopted, with emphasis on both standard PID and generalized fractional order PID controllers. Through practical exercises and simulations, students acquire essential skills to understand anesthesia modeling and control challenges effectively, contributing to improved patient outcomes in clinical practice.

The importance of proper data normalization for deep neural networks is well known. However, in continuous-time state-space model estimation, it has been observed that improper normalization of either the hidden state or hidden state derivative of the model estimate, or even of the time interval can lead to numerical and optimization challenges with deep learning based methods. This results in a reduced model quality. In this contribution, we show that these three normalization tasks are inherently coupled. Due to the existence of this coupling, we propose a solution to all three normalization challenges by introducing a normalization constant at the state derivative level. We show that the appropriate choice of the normalization constant is related to the dynamics of the to-be-identified system and we derive multiple methods of obtaining an effective normalization constant. We compare and discuss all the normalization strategies on a benchmark problem based on experimental data from a cascaded tanks system and compare our results with other methods of the identification literature.
