In control theory, complex models of physical processes, such as systems of differential or
difference equations, are usually checked against simple specifications, such as stability …

In this paper, we address the temporal logic motion planning problem for mobile robots that
are modeled by second order dynamics. Temporal logic specifications can capture the usual …

In this paper, different research trends that use symbolic techniques for robot motion
planning and control are illustrated. As it often happens in new research areas, contributions …

Given a robot model and a class of admissible environments, this paper provides a
framework for automatically and verifiably composing controllers that satisfy high level task …

We develop a hierarchical framework for planning and control of arbitrarily large groups
(swarms) of fully actuated robots with polyhedral velocity bounds moving in polygonal …

In this paper, we consider the robust interpretation of metric temporal logic (MTL) formulas
over timed sequences of states. For systems whose states are equipped with nontrivial …

In this paper, we consider the problem of controller design using approximately bisimilar
abstractions with an emphasis on safety and reachability specifications. We propose …

What would it be like if we could give our robot high level commands and it would
automatically execute them in a verifiably correct fashion in dynamically changing …

In this technical note, we propose an approach to controller synthesis for a class of
constrained nonlinear systems. It is based on the use of a hybridization, that is a hybrid …

Abstractions (also called symbolic models) are simple descriptions of continuous and hybrid
systems that can be used in analysis and control. They are usually constructed in the form of …
