Risk-Averse Control via CVaR Barrier Functions: Application to Bipedal Robot Locomotion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Enforcing safety in the presence of stochastic uncertainty is a challenging problem. Traditionally, researchers have proposed statistical mean as measure for systems subject to uncertainty. However, ensuring only reasonable if system's safe behavior large number runs interest, which precludes use practical scenarios. In this letter, we propose risk sensitive notion called conditional-value-at-risk (CVaR) safety. We introduce CVaR barrier functions tool enforce CVaR-safety and conditions their Boolean compositions. Given legacy controller, show that can design minimally interfering CVaR-safe controller via solving difference convex programs (DCPs). elucidate method by applying it bipedal robot locomotion case study.

Discrete Control Barrier Functions for Safety-Critical Control of Discrete Systems with Application to Bipedal Robot Navigation
In this paper, we extend the concept of control barrier functions, developed initially for continuous time systems, to the discrete-time domain. We demonstrate safety-critical control for nonlinear discrete-time systems with applications to 3D bipedal robot navigation. Particularly, we mathematically analyze two different formulations of control barrier functions, based on their continuous-time...
متن کاملA risk-averse competitive newsvendor problem under the CVaR criterion
We study a risk-averse newsvendor problem with quantity competition and price competition. Under the Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) criterion, we characterize the optimal quantity and pricing decisions under both quantity and price competition. For quantity competition, we consider two demand splitting rules, namely proportional demand allocation and demand reallocation. Although competition ...
متن کاملA Risk-Averse Newsvendor Model Under CVaR Decision Criterion
The classical risk-neutral newsvendor problem is to decide the order quantity to maximize the one period expected pro.t under a given demand distribution. In this paper we consider a risk-averse newsvendor with a stochastic price-dependent demand. We use the Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR), a risk measure commonly used in finance, as the decision criterion. The aim of our study is to investiga...
متن کاملTrajectory planning using oscillatory chirp functions applied to bipedal locomotion
This work presents a method for planning sinusoidal trajectories for an actuated joint, so that the oscillation frequency follows linear profiles, like trapezoidal ones, defined by the user or by a high level planner. The planning method adds a cubic polynomial function for the last segment of the trajectory in order to reach a desired final position of the joint. We apply this planning method ...
