Lyapunov equations that go beyond Lyapunov equations for system stability and performance Eric Feron, Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering Nov 7, 12:00 - 13:00 KAUST Lyapunov equations Lyapunov's stability theory, which was formulated around 1892, presents itself as a watershed event in the study of dynamical systems.
Ariadne: Building safe autonomy with unproven algorithms Eric Feron, Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering Feb 7, 12:00 - 13:00 KAUST Ariadne safe autonomy unproven algorithms With the advent of increasingly intelligent algorithms, robots are capable of planning and performing increasingly challenging and creative tasks. Safety, however, remains an essential requirement on robotic behaviors. It is also a property that is hard or impossible to prove for virtually all intelligent algorithms of practical value. Ariadne is a model-based paradigm that enables the safe operation of many robotic systems, even though the algorithms involved with the operation may not be verifiable. Ariadne, or "plan B" engineering, will be illustrated in various current Robotics contexts derived from Ariadne's own Greek mythology, railroad systems, nuclear energy production, air transportation, and others.
