▼ This is a preliminary study of decentralized algorithms that can be applied to wind farm controls. Traditionally, wind farm control is comprised of the wind farm level control and the wind turbine level control. The wind farm level control is a centralized controller that takes the demands from the grid and generates operating points for each wind turbine within the wind farm. The wind turbine level control then generates the optimal control for each turbine to match the operating point. Unfortunately, this traditional control scheme does not constitute the optimal operation of a wind farm due to it???s disregard at either level of control for the interactions between wind turbines in the wind farm . Consequently, a different two level control scheme is proposed in this thesis. This control scheme is shown to be a decentralized controller in that each wind turbine has the ability to both generate its own operating point and calculate its own optimal control. Through the communication of the wind turbines with each other, the interactions between the wind turbines are incorporated into both levels of control. The generation of the operating point is posed as a stochastic resource allocation problem that takes into account the stochastic wind and other wind farm characteristics. We develop a stochastic algorithm based on network dynamic system theory to solve the resource allocation problem. We show that the algorithm converges to the solution of the resource allocation problem almost surely. The calculation of each wind turbine???s optimal control is formulated as an Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) optimization problem with a equality constraint. We develop an algorithm that is based on the Tatonnement process in Economics to solve the LQR problem. We first consider the performance of the algorithm in a dynamically decoupled system and show that the algorithm solves the LQR problem. We then consider the performance of the algorithm in a dynamically coupled system and discuss the difference between the two cases.

▼ This thesis makes three theoretical contributions to the robust system analysis and control theory. First, we revisit a central theorem in robust control theory known as the the Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov (KYP) lemma, and uncover its "hidden" symmetric structure that is rarely articulated in the literature of robustness analysis. Roughly speaking, we propose a new formulation of the KYP lemma so that two seemingly different quantities, "frequency" and "system uncertainties" play symmetric roles in the robust stability analysis. It turns out that the new formulation has sufficient generality to unify some of the recent extensions of the KYP lemma. Further consideration of this symmetry naturally leads us to the notion of mutual losslessness, which is the exact condition for the lossless of the analysis. As a result, the new formulation provides a general framework that answers when the KYP-like robustness analysis is lossless. Second, we restrict our focus to the class of cone-preserving linear dynamical systems. Square MIMO transfer functions in this class have what we call the DC-dominance property: the spectral radius of the transfer function attains its maximum at zero frequency and hence, the stability of the interconnected transfer functions is guaranteed solely by the static gain analysis. Using this property, we prove the delay-independent stability of cone-preserving delay differential equations. This provides an alternative proof of the delay-independent mean-square stability of multi-dimensional geometric Brownian motions. Finally, we further restrict our focus to the special class of cone-preserving systems known as positive systems. We prove a novel "diagonal" KYP lemma for positive systems, which ensures the existence of a diagonal storage function without introducing conservatism whenever the system is contractive. This result suggests that a certain class of distributed optimal control for positive systems can be found via the semidefinite programming (SDP).

▼ Air traffic disruptions result in fight delays, cancellations, passenger misconnections, creating high costs to aviation stakeholders. This dissertation studies two directions in the area of airline disruption management – an area of significant focus in reducing airlines’ operating costs. These directions are: (i) a joint proactive and reactive approach to airline disruption management, and (ii) a dynamic aircraft and passenger recovery approach to evaluate the long-term effects of climate change on airline network recoverability. Our first direction proposes a joint proactive and reactive approach to airline disruption management, which optimizes recovery decisions in response to realized disruptions and in anticipation of future disruptions. Specifically, it forecasts future disruptions partially and probabilistically by estimating systemic delays at hub airports (and the uncertainty thereof) and ignoring other contingent disruption sources. It formulates a dynamic stochastic integer programming framework to minimize network-wide expected disruption recovery costs. Specifically, our Stochastic Reactive and Proactive Disruption Management (SRPDM) model combines a stochastic queuing model of airport congestion, a fight planning tool from Boeing/Jeppesen and an integer programming model of airline disruption recovery. We develop an online solution procedure based on look-ahead approximation and sample average approximation, which enables the model's implementation in short computational times. Experimental results show that leveraging partial and probabilistic estimates of future disruptions can reduce expected recovery costs by 1-2%, as compared to a baseline myopic approach that uses realized disruptions alone. These benefits are mainly driven by the deliberate introduction of departure holds to reduce expected fuel costs, fight cancellations and aircraft swaps. Our next direction studies the impact of climate change-imposed constraints on the recoverability of airline networks. We first use models that capture the modified payload-range curves for different aircraft types under multiple climate change scenarios, and the associated (reduced) aircraft capacities. We next construct a modeling and algorithmic framework that allows for simultaneous and integrated aircraft and passenger recovery that explicitly capture the above-mentioned capacity changes in aircraft at different times of day. Our computational results using the climate model on a worst-case, medium-case, and mild-case climate change scenarios project that daily total airline recovery costs increase on average, by 25% to 55.9% on average ; and by 10.6% to 156% over individual disrupted days. Aircraft-related costs are driven by a huge increase in aircraft swaps and cancelations; and passenger-related costs are driven by increases in disrupted passengers who need to be rebooked on the same or a different airline. Our work motivates the critical need for airlines to systematically incorporate climate change as a factor in the design of aircraft as well… Advisors/Committee Members: Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Marla%2C%20Lavanya%22%29&pagesize-30">Marla, Lavanya (advisor), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Ouyang%2C%20Yanfeng%22%29&pagesize-30">Ouyang, Yanfeng (Committee Chair), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Langbort%2C%20Cedric%22%29&pagesize-30">Langbort, Cedric (committee member), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Jacquillat%2C%20Alexandre%22%29&pagesize-30">Jacquillat, Alexandre (committee member).

▼ The thesis focuses on a few fundamental problems in multi-player dynamic sequential decision problems – games and teams – with asymmetric information. It is divided into two parts and addresses six broad theoretical problems. In the first part of the thesis, the focus is on dynamic games, in which the decision makers do not observe the same set of random variables at every time step of the play. In the second part of the thesis, the focus is on static and dynamic teams in which the decision makers may or may not share their observations with each other. This part of the thesis partially resolves a long-standing open question in stochastic control theory, which is to establish the existence of team-optimal solutions in teams with non-classical information structures. To solve all problems, a two-step solution approach is adopted; the first step involves identifying an equivalent decision problem with expanded state, observation, and action spaces of the decision makers, and the second step consists of solving this equivalent problem and then projecting the solution back to the original problem. Information asymmetry among decision makers naturally arises in numerous social, economic, and engineering settings. An auction is an example of a game of asymmetric information. The value of the object to a bidder is known only to that bidder, but not known to other bidders. However, the decisions of all the bidders affect the outcome of the auction. A communication system comprising an encoder and a decoder is a team with asymmetric information. The encoder wants to communicate a randomly generated message to the decoder via a noisy channel. The decision makers here are the encoder and the decoder, who decide, respectively, on the encoding and decoding strategies to minimize the expected distortion between the original and the decoded messages subject to certain communication or energy constraints. Despite ubiquity of scenarios in which information asymmetry appears, very few results exist on the existence of suitable solutions in such problems. The purpose of this thesis is to identify sufficiently general conditions under which suitable solutions exist in dynamic stochastic games and teams with asymmetric information. The first part of the thesis studies three problems pertinent to games with asymmetric information. In the first problem, a refinement concept for Nash equilibrium is presented, called common information based Markov perfect equilibrium (CIMPE), for a class of two-player dynamic linear-Gaussian (LG) games of asymmetric information satisfying two general conditions. The most appealing property of CIMPE is that it can be computed using a backward induction algorithm. Further, if the cost functions of the decision makers are quadratic in their arguments (called LQG games) and satisfy certain conditions, then the game is proven to admit a unique CIMPE, which can be computed by solving for the unknowns in a succession of linear equations. A two-step solution approach is adopted to prove the results and… Advisors/Committee Members: Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Basar%2C%20Tamer%22%29&pagesize-30">Basar, Tamer (advisor), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Langbort%2C%20Cedric%22%29&pagesize-30">Langbort, Cedric (advisor), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Basar%2C%20Tamer%22%29&pagesize-30">Basar, Tamer (Committee Chair), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Langbort%2C%20Cedric%22%29&pagesize-30">Langbort, Cedric (Committee Chair), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Raginsky%2C%20Maxim%22%29&pagesize-30">Raginsky, Maxim (committee member), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Namachchivaya%2C%20N.%20Sri%22%29&pagesize-30">Namachchivaya, N.

▼ Adaptation and Learning from exploration have been a key in biological learning; Humans and animals do not learn every task in isolation; rather are able to quickly adapt the learned behaviors between similar tasks and learn new skills when presented with new situations. Inspired by this, adaptation has been an important direction of research in control as Adaptive Controllers. However, the Adaptive Controllers like Model Reference Adaptive Controller are mainly model-based controllers and do not rely on exploration instead make informed decisions exploiting the model's structure. Therefore such controllers are characterized by high sample efficiency and stability conditions and, therefore, suitable for safety-critical systems. On the other hand, we have Learning-based optimal control algorithms like Reinforcement Learning. Reinforcement learning is a trial and error method, where an agent explores the environment by taking random action and maximizing the likelihood of those particular actions that result in a higher return. However, these exploration techniques are expected to fail many times before exploring optimal policy. Therefore, they are highly sample-expensive and lack stability guarantees and hence not suitable for safety-critical systems. This thesis presents control algorithms for robotics where the best of both worlds that is ``Adaptation'' and ``Learning from exploration'' are brought together to propose new algorithms that can perform better than their conventional counterparts. In this effort, we first present an Adapt to learn policy transfer Algorithm, where we use control theoretical ideas of adaptation to transfer policy between two related but different tasks using the policy gradient method of reinforcement learning. Efficient and robust policy transfer remains a key challenge in reinforcement learning. Policy transfer through warm initialization, imitation, or interacting over a large set of agents with randomized instances, have been commonly applied to solve a variety of Reinforcement Learning (RL) tasks. However, this is far from how behavior transfer happens in the biological world: Here, we seek to answer the question: Will learning to combine adaptation reward with environmental reward lead to a more efficient transfer of policies between domains? We introduce a principled mechanism that can ``Adapt-to-Learn", which is adapt the source policy to learn to solve a target task with significant transition differences and uncertainties. Through theory and experiments, we show that our method leads to a significantly reduced sample complexity of transferring the policies between the tasks. In the second part of this thesis, information-enabled learning-based adaptive controllers like ``Gaussian Process adaptive controller using Model Reference Generative Network'' (GP-MRGeN), ``Deep Model Reference Adaptive Controller'' (DMRAC) are presented.

▼ This thesis develops various methods for the robust and stochastic model-based control of uncertain dynamical systems. Several different types of uncertainties are considered, as well as different mathematical formalisms for quantification of the effects of uncertainties in dynamical systems. For deterministic uncertain models and robust control, uncertainties are described as sets of unknowns and every element from a set is presumed to be realizable. Stability and performance characteristics and controlled system behaviors are required to be satisfied for any element in the set of uncertain models. This thesis extends and expands robust control theory to tackle control problems for specific classes of structured uncertain linear and nonlinear systems that include cone-invariant systems, descriptor systems, and Wiener systems. The resultant analysis and control methods are proposed in terms of conic programming that includes linear programming and semidefinite programming (SDP). For stochastic uncertain models and stochastic control, uncertainties are described in terms of probability distribution functions. Stability and performance characteristics and controlled system behaviors are required to be satisfied with a desired probabilistic confidence. This thesis develops analysis and control schemes based on a spectral methods known as generalized polynomial chaos that can be used to approximate the propagation of uncertainties through dynamical systems. The proposed analysis and design methods are shown to be computationally efficient and accurate alternatives to sampling-based methods, especially when the methods are incorporated into model-based real-time control such as model predictive control. In addition to accounting for uncertainties and disturbances, the occurrence of a system component fault or failure can significantly degrade the ability of the control system to satisfy the desired stability and performance criteria. This thesis presents an application of the robust control formalism to passively ensure the reliability of a closed-loop system. For an active and intelligent control under presumed fault scenarios, this thesis considers Bayesian inference and information theory that are suited for real-time model checking and selection. To maximize the performance of statistical inference decision-making in the presence of stochastic uncertainties, design methods for optimal probing input signals are proposed in terms of the solutions of mathematical programs. Due to excitation nature of probing inputs, the resultant mathematical programs are nonconvex and a sequential SDP and convex relaxation methods are proposed to cope with such computational challenges. For real-time model checking and selection of complex distributed systems, this thesis develops methods of distributed hypothesis testing that are based on belief propagation and optimization in graphical models. The proposed methods are scalable and guarantee a consensus of distributed statistical inference decision-making.

▼ This dissertation considers the decentralized control of switched linear systems with parameter dependent cost and system matrices. This problem class is investigated under a number of different formulations of player information structure, performance criteria and switching architecture. Such decentralized switched systems can be encountered in various applications like network control, control in a changing environment, economic theory, power systems, decision making in organizations, resource allocation. The thesis is roughly divided into three parts. The first part of the thesis focuses on the static quadratic team problem, where players observe partial observations of an underlying random state and generate actions with the objective of minimizing the expected value of a common quadratic cost function in the player actions. One of the motivations behind studying this problem is to solve a static stochastic-parameter problem useful in solving dynamic switched control problems encountered later. The problem however is studied in full generality and an operator theoretic framework is presented to analyze the same. We prove that a scheme where strategies are updated by sequentially applying the best responses of players, converges to the team optimal strategy. Such an update scheme provides a mechanism to numerically compute arbitrarily close approximations of the team optimal strategy. It also acts as a tool for validating structure of the team optimal strategy which can be beneficial in some cases for analytical computation of these strategies. The second part of the thesis considers dynamic switched optimal control problems with quadratic cost and players having local parameter knowledge. One of these problems is studied under full state feedback and i.i.d. parameter; the remaining two problems are output feedback, distinguished by the type of information structure: partially nested and one-step delayed sharing. For the former output feedback problem, parameters and measurements follow a partially nested structure with the parameters possibly being correlated across all stages. For the latter case, parameters are assumed to be Markov processes, with their values along with measurements available instantaneously to local controllers, but with a one time step delay to others. The solution to all these problems rely on the optimal solution to a static (one-stage) stochastic-parameter problem with local parameter dependent Gaussian measurements, and for this purpose the static quadratic team problem, examined in first part is used. The strategies obtained in all these dynamic problems are affine in the measurements with the parameter dependent coefficients obtained by solving a set of linear equations. These equations are immediately solvable when the total number of parameter values is finite. However, for the case of infinite parameter values, the update scheme examined in the first section also provides a mechanism to determine an approximation to the team optimal strategy.

▼ This thesis investigates a model of informational nudging. It focuses on a situation where a decision maker faces a set of alternatives. Each alternative brings a certain stochastic reward/payoff to the decision maker. The decision maker/user repeatedly chooses from the set of alternatives so as to maximize the reward she obtains. The user remembers her past experiments and builds an estimate of the reward of each alternative to make her future decision. The reward estimate is built with the assumption that the user averages the reward of the alternative she just chose with her past reward estimate, using a non summable, square summable sequence of averaging factors, while leaving the estimate of the alternative she did not choose unchanged. The decision process is repeated over an infinite time horizon and the relative importance she gives to new experiment compared to her past experiment decreases as time goes on. This is a key assumption to study the asymptotic behavior of the process, since we use stochastic averaging techniques. At each step of the process the user chooses the alternative using her payoff estimate and a logit rule. With this model the user can only gather information about one alternative at each step of the process, hence the estimate of a rarely chosen alternative is not often updated. Therefore we introduce a recommender who provides information about the unchosen alternatives at every step, making it possible for the user to update the payoff estimate of all alternatives at every step of the process. This modifies the payoff estimate, modifies the subsequent choice of the users, i.e. the whole decision process. We are particularly interested in studying the situation where the recommender provides incorrect or misleading information to influence the decision maker behavior, as a way to achieve more desirable equilibria. Building on the theory of stochastic averaging, control strategies are derived to enforce a desired equilibrium.

▼ In this thesis, we consider three different problems related to control using communication channel as a medium to transfer control signal in a networked control system. In particular, we are interested in control in the presence of an intelligent and strategic jammer who is maliciously altering the control signal or observation signal in the communication network connecting the controller and the plant. The first formulation considers a dynamic zero-sum game between a controller and a jammer for two different scenarios. The first player acts as a controller for a discrete time LTI plant, while the second player acts to jam the communication between the controller and the plant. The number of jamming actions is limited, which captures the energy constraint of the jammer. In the first scenario, the state of the plant is unconstrained, while in the second scenario, the state of the plant is constrained by a threshold at all time steps, and both the jammer and the controller try to maintain the state of the plant below that threshold. We determine saddle-point equilibrium control and jamming strategies for these two games under the full state, total recall information structure for both players, and show that the jammer acts according to a threshold-based policy at each decision step. Various properties of the threshold functions are derived and complemented by numerical simulation studies. The next problem considers a model of stealthy attack on a networked control system by formulating a static zero-sum game among four players. The three players constitute a team of encoder, decoder and controller for a scalar discrete time linear plant, while the fourth player acts to flip the bits of the binary encoded observation signal of the communication channel between the plant and the controller. We are interested in characterizing the possible encoding/decoding/control defense strategies available to the controller and for simplicity, we model it for a scalar discrete time system with only one time step. We further assume that the communication channel has finite bandwidth, and that the observation and control signals have finite codelengths. We determine the saddle-point equilibrium control and jamming strategies for this game when the controller's strategy space is restricted to quantization-based policies, and show that the resulting performance compares favorably to universal lower bounds obtained from rate-distortion theory. We also provide a necessary and sufficient condition on the minimum number of bits that are required to drive the cost to zero for this one step control problem in the presence of a jammer.

▼ The current air traffic management system has been pushed to its limit and will not be able to keep up with the predicted increase in air traffic over the coming years. Recent research in air traffic management is concerned with increasing the capacity and throughput of the National Airspace System in order to accommodate this growing demand. Many approaches presented in the literature are systematic and performance based. In the work presented here, two particular problems are addressed: delay scheduling in the presence of uncertain flow rate constraints, and traffic flow routing under time varying airspace capacity constraints. Aggregate models are used to describe the flow of traffic in the region of airspace of interest. The solution methods presented are based on sliding mode control theory and linear programming theory. Contributions of this work are methods which: (a) react in real time to changing flow rate constraints, and (b) use routing parameters to satisfy time varying capacity constraints for linear, uncertain linear, and nonlinear models describing the flow of traffic through the region of interest. Unlike most methods described in the literature, solution method (a) does not make use of a constraint forecast. Simulation results show a reduction of flow rate constraint violation over the baseline schedule. Routing control is rarely used in the literature. The proposed approach (b) makes use of routing parameters as the primary control input. Linear constraints are derived to find time varying routing parameters which satisfy time varying capacity constraints.

▼ The problem of a single human operator monitoring multiple UAVs in reconnaissance missions is addressed in this work. In such missions, the operator inspects and classifies targets as they appear on video feeds from the various UAVs. In parallel, the aircraft autonomously execute a flight plan and transmit real-time video of an unknown terrain. The main contribution of this work is the development of a system that autonomously schedules the display of video feeds such that the human operator is able to inspect each target in real time (i.e., no video data is recorded and queued for later inspection). The construction of this non-overlapping schedule is made possible by commanding changes to the flight plan of the UAVs. These changes are constructed such that the impact on the mission time is minimized. The development of this system is addressed in the context of both fixed and arbitrary target inspection times. Under the assumption that the inspection time is constant, a Linear Program (LP) formulation is used to optimally solve the display scheduling problem in the time domain. The LP solution is implemented in the space domain via velocity and trajectory modifications to the flight plan of the UAVs. An online algorithm is proposed to resolve scheduling conflicts between multiple video feeds as targets are discovered by the UAVs. Properties of this algorithm are studied to develop conflict resolution strategies that ensure correctness regardless of the target placement. The effect of such strategies on the mission time is evaluated via numerical simulations. In the context of arbitrary inspection time, the human operator indicates the end of target inspection in real time. A set of maneuvers is devised that enable the operator to inspect each target uninterruptedly and indefinitely. In addition, a cuing mechanism is proposed to increase the situational awareness of the operator and potentially reduce the inspection times. The benefits of operator cuing on mission time are evaluated through a numerical study using various levels of simulated human response.

▼ This thesis focuses on collision avoidance for multi-vehicle coordinated missions. Building upon an existing cooperative control framework, we propose collision-avoidance methods that rely on practicably available obstacle information and allow safe operation without compromising on the mission objectives. Several applications of multi-vehicle coordinated missions require the vehicles to satisfy relative temporal constraints, such as maintaining formation throughout the mission or reaching their respective destinations at the same time. With such applications in focus, two different methodologies for collision avoidance are explored. We first consider a speed-adjustment based approach that can be used to avoid moving obstacles. Using obstacle information which may be available in real world applications such as air traffic management and highway driving, the proposed algorithm allows collision avoidance without requiring any vehicle to deviate from its path or lose coordination with other vehicles. Next, trajectory replanning approach for obstacle avoidance is considered. Applicable to both static and moving obstacles, this method may require the vehicle to steer away from its originally intended path. The deviations in position, velocity and acceleration caused by the avoidance maneuver, however, are small and respect bounds that can be computed offline. These bounds can be used during the mission-planning phase to guarantee satisfaction of vehicle dynamic constraints and inter-vehicle safety distance even during collision avoidance maneuver. Through novel use of Bézier curves and surfaces for representing uncertain trajectories, these algorithms make use of partial information on obstacle trajectory and are computationally efficient.

▼ In this dissertation, we analyze the interaction between intelligent and selfish agents in non-cooperative environments with a specific focus on the transmission of some private information among them. We seek to quantify the ability of informed agents to shape the uninformed (rational) agents' beliefs about the private information through signals crafted strategically even when the uninformed agents construct their beliefs with awareness of how the messages were crafted. Through the quantification of this ability, our goal is to introduce strategic information transmission to applications in cyber and cyber-physical systems as a deception-as-defense mode of operation. It is worth noting that transparency in the signals sent provides robustness against advanced adversaries that can learn/discover the signaling strategy. Due to the versatility of the Gaussian distribution, we first formulate derivation of the optimal signaling strategies for Gauss Markov information in dynamic communication settings. We formulate an equivalent semi-definite program instead of addressing this problem over the original infinite-dimensional strategy spaces. We show that the optimal signaling strategies are linear within the general class of measurable policies when the agents have different quadratic cost measures. This formulation brings in the possibility of adopting strategic information transmission in dynamic control systems based on the common theme of communication and control settings. In this context, we introduce a robust sensor design framework and compute the associated sensor outputs to provide resiliency in linear-quadratic-Gaussian control systems against advanced attackers with malicious and unknown control objectives. In order to extend these results to distributions other than Gaussian, we have address the problem of optimal hierarchical signaling for a general class of square integrable multivariate distributions. Again instead of addressing the problem directly over the original strategy spaces, we have formulated an equivalent linear optimization problem over the cone of completely positive matrices when the underlying state space is finite. The ability to compute the optimal signaling strategies for large finite state spaces enables us to address the signaling problem approximately also for continuous distributions. We also provide analytical guarantees on the level of accuracy for the approximation. Finally, we discuss some of the future research directions on belief shaping through strategic signaling.

▼ Inverse optimal control is the problem of computing a cost function with respect to which observed state input trajectories are optimal. We present a new method of inverse optimal control based on minimizing the extent to which observed trajectories violate first-order necessary conditions for optimality. We consider continuous-time deterministic optimal control systems with a cost function that is a linear combination of known basis functions. We compare our approach with three prior methods of inverse optimal control. We demonstrate the performance of these methods by performing simulation experiments using a collection of nominal system models. We compare the robustness of these methods by analyzing how they perform under perturbations to the system. We consider two scenarios: one in which we exactly know the set of basis functions in the cost function, and another in which the true cost function contains an unknown perturbation. Results from simulation experiments show that our new method is computationally efficient relative to prior methods, performs similarly to prior approaches under large perturbations to the system, and better learns the true cost function under small perturbations. We then apply our method to three problems of interest in robotics. First, we apply inverse optimal control to learn the physical properties of an elastic rod. Second, we apply inverse optimal control to learn models of human walking paths. These models of human locomotion enable automation of mobile robots moving in a shared space with humans, and enable motion prediction of walking humans given partial trajectory observations. Finally, we apply inverse optimal control to develop a new method of learning from demonstration for quadrotor dynamic maneuvering. We compare and contrast our method with an existing state-of-the-art solution based on minimum-time optimal control, and show that our method can generalize to novel tasks and reject environmental disturbances.

▼ A future air traffic management system capable of rerouting aircraft trajectories in real-time in response to transient and evolving events would result in increased aircraft efficiency, better utilization of the airspace, and decreased environmental impact. Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) is used within a receding horizon framework to form aircraft trajectories which mitigate persistent contrail formation, avoid areas of convective weather, and seek a minimum fuel solution. Areas conducive to persistent contrail formation and areas of convective weather occur at disparate temporal and spatial scales, and thereby require the receding horizon controller to be adaptable to multi-scale events. In response, a novel adaptable receding horizon controller was developed to account for multi-scale disturbances, as well as generate trajectories using both a penalty function approach for obstacle penetration and hard obstacle avoidance constraints. A realistic aircraft fuel burn model based on aircraft data and engine performance simulations is used to form the cost function in the MILP optimization. The performance of the receding horizon algorithm is tested through simulation. A scalability analysis of the algorithm is conducted to ensure the tractability of the path planner. The adaptable receding horizon algorithm is shown to successfully negotiate multi-scale environments with performance exceeding static receding horizon solutions. The path planner is applied to realistic scenarios involving real atmospheric data. A single flight example for persistent contrail mitigation shows that fuel burn increases 1.48% when approximately 50% of persistent contrails are avoided, but 6.19% when 100% of persistent contrails are avoided. Persistent contrail mitigating trajectories are generated for multiple days of data, and the research shows that 58% of persistent contrails are avoided with a 0.48% increase in fuel consumption when averaged over a year.
