In this letter we present a multi-rate control architecture for safety critical systems. We
consider a high level planner and a low level controller which operate at different …

We propose a computationally efficient approach to safe reinforcement learning (RL) for
frequency regulation in power systems with high levels of variable renewable energy …

In this paper, we focus on the problem of compositional synthesis of controllers enforcing
signal temporal logic (STL) tasks over a class of continuous-time nonlinear interconnected …

In this article, we propose a unified framework to instantly generate a safe optimal control
action for a new task from existing controllers on multiagent systems. The control action …

This paper focuses on the need for a rigorous theory of layered control architectures (LCAs)
for complex engineered and natural systems, such as power systems, communication …

This study focuses on the problems of safety control and stabilization for time‐varying
nonlinear systems in the presence of time‐varying full‐state constraints. High‐order control …

The growing complexity of modern engineering systems necessitates a method for design
and analysis that is inherently modular. Methods based on using contracts for system design …

Contract theory is a powerful tool to reason on systems that are interacting with an external
environment, possibly made of other systems. Formally, a contract is usually given by …

The performance and reliability of Cyber-Physical Systems are increasingly aided through
the use of digital twins, which mirror the static and dynamic behaviour of a Cyber-Physical …

Despite great successes, model predictive control (MPC) relies on an accurate dynamical
model and requires high onboard computational power, impeding its wider adoption in …
