Control Synthesis based on Temporal Logic Trees with Application to Shared Autonomy

Abstract:

Traditional control methods, such as model predictive control, are able to efficiently incorporate state and input constraints into the control synthesis problem. In this talk, we will discuss how more complex specifications based on linear temporal logic (LTL) can be included. We introduce the new notion of a temporal logic trees (TLT) and show how they can be derived from any LTL formula using classical reachability analysis. Conditions are given to verify whether a system satisfies an LTL formula or not by using TLT. The presented framework allows the treatment of uncertain and time-varying system as well as environment models, different from many other approaches. We give an online control synthesis algorithm, under which a set of feasible control inputs can be generated at each time step and show that this algorithm is recursively feasible. The proposed method is demonstrated in applications of automated vehicles and shared-autonomy systems. The talk is mainly based on joint work with Yulong Gao, Frank Jiang, Mirco Giacobbe, and Alessandro Abate.
