Overview
My research focuses on the design of optimization-based algorithms for robot control and coordination in human-inhabited environments. My goal is to ensure a safe, reliable, secure, and private coordination of the robots among humans.
The main methods involved in my research are nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) and decomposition methods (e.g., ADMM and AMA). Finally, I am also exploring how to integrate privacy-preserving algorithms in the the context of robot control and planning.
My main application domains are automotive, maritime transportation, and UAVs.
