Data-driven Interval MDP for Robust Control Synthesis

no code implementations12 Apr 2024 Rudi Coppola, Andrea Peruffo, Licio Romao, Alessandro Abate, Manuel Mazo Jr

The abstraction of dynamical systems is a powerful tool that enables the design of feedback controllers using a correct-by-design framework.

Data-Driven Abstractions for Control Systems

no code implementations16 Feb 2024 Rudi Coppola, Andrea Peruffo, Manuel Mazo Jr

At the intersection of dynamical systems, control theory, and formal methods lies the construction of symbolic abstractions: these typically represent simpler, finite-state models whose behaviour mimics the one of an underlying concrete system but are easier to analyse.

Distributionally Robust Strategy Synthesis for Switched Stochastic Systems

no code implementations29 Dec 2022 Ibon Gracia, Dimitris Boskos, Morteza Lahijanian, Luca Laurenti, Manuel Mazo Jr

The framework we present first learns an abstraction of a switched stochastic system as a robust Markov decision process (robust MDP) by accounting for both the stochasticity of the system and the uncertainty in the noise distribution.

Data-driven Abstractions for Verification of Deterministic Systems

no code implementations3 Nov 2022 Rudi Coppola, Andrea Peruffo, Manuel Mazo Jr

A common technique to verify complex logic specifications for dynamical systems is the construction of symbolic abstractions: simpler, finite-state models whose behaviour mimics the one of the systems of interest.

Robust Event-Driven Interactions in Cooperative Multi-Agent Learning

1 code implementation7 Apr 2022 Daniel Jarne Ornia, Manuel Mazo Jr

We present an approach to reduce the communication required between agents in a Multi-Agent learning system by exploiting the inherent robustness of the underlying Markov Decision Process.

Data-driven Abstractions with Probabilistic Guarantees for Linear PETC Systems

no code implementations10 Mar 2022 Andrea Peruffo, Manuel Mazo Jr

We extend the scenario approach to multiclass SVM algorithms in order to construct a PAC map between the concrete, unknown state-space and the inter-sample times.

ETCetera: beyond Event-Triggered Control

no code implementations3 Mar 2022 Giannis Delimpaltadakis, Gabriel de A. Gleizer, Ivo van Straalen, Manuel Mazo Jr

We present ETCetera, a Python library developed for the analysis and synthesis of the sampling behaviour of event triggered control (ETC) systems.

Formal Analysis of the Sampling Behaviour of Stochastic Event-Triggered Control

no code implementations21 Feb 2022 Giannis Delimpaltadakis, Luca Laurenti, Manuel Mazo Jr

Analyzing Event-Triggered Control's (ETC) sampling behaviour is of paramount importance, as it enables formal assessment of its sampling performance and prediction of its sampling patterns.

Chaos and order in event-triggered control

no code implementations12 Jan 2022 Gabriel de Albuquerque Gleizer, Manuel Mazo Jr

Then, we present abstraction-based methods to compute limit metrics, such as limit average and limit inferior inter-sample time (IST) of periodic ETC (PETC), with considerations to the robustness of such metrics, as well as measuring the emergence of chaos.

Computing the average inter-sample time of event-triggered control using quantitative automata

no code implementations29 Sep 2021 Gabriel de Albuquerque Gleizer, Manuel Mazo Jr

Event-triggered control (ETC) is a major recent development in cyber-physical systems due to its capability of reducing resource utilization in networked devices.

Event-Based Communication in Distributed Q-Learning

no code implementations3 Sep 2021 Daniel Jarne Ornia, Manuel Mazo Jr

We present an approach to reduce the communication of information needed on a Distributed Q-Learning system inspired by Event Triggered Control (ETC) techniques.

Self-Triggered Control for Near-Maximal Average Inter-Sample Time

no code implementations7 May 2021 Gabriel de Albuquerque Gleizer, Khushraj Madnani, Manuel Mazo Jr

Self-triggered control (STC) is a sample-and-hold control method aimed at reducing communications within networked-control systems; however, existing STC mechanisms often maximize how late the next sample is, and as such they do not provide any sampling optimality in the long-term.

Abstracting the Sampling Behaviour of Stochastic Linear Periodic Event-Triggered Control Systems

no code implementations25 Mar 2021 Giannis Delimpaltadakis, Luca Laurenti, Manuel Mazo Jr

Recently, there have been efforts towards understanding the sampling behaviour of event-triggered control (ETC), for obtaining metrics on its sampling performance and predicting its sampling patterns.

Abstracting the Traffic of Nonlinear Event-Triggered Control Systems

no code implementations23 Oct 2020 Giannis Delimpaltadakis, Manuel Mazo Jr

To construct an ETC system's abstraction: a) the state space is partitioned into regions, b) for each region an interval is determined, containing all intersampling times of points in the region, and c) the abstraction's transitions are determined through reachability analysis.

Formal synthesis of closed-form sampled-data controllers for nonlinear continuous-time systems under STL specifications

no code implementations7 Jun 2020 Cees F. Verdier, Niklas Kochdumper, Matthias Althoff, Manuel Mazo Jr

Subsequently, the best candidate is verified using reachability analysis; if the candidate solution does not satisfy the specification, an initial condition violating the specification is extracted as a counterexample.

Region-Based Self-Triggered Control for Perturbed and Uncertain Nonlinear Systems

no code implementations1 May 2020 Giannis Delimpaltadakis, Manuel Mazo Jr

In this work, we derive a region-based self-triggered control (STC) scheme for nonlinear systems with bounded disturbances and model uncertainties.

Scalable Traffic Models for Scheduling of Linear Periodic Event-Triggered Controllers

It is augmented with early triggering actions that can be used by a scheduler to mitigate communication conflicts.

no code implementations6 Dec 2018 Cees F. Verdier, Manuel Mazo Jr

This paper presents an automatic formal controller synthesis method for nonlinear sampled-data systems with safety and reachability specifications.
