Description: The lecture will provide an overview of Astghik's research on learning based optimal control methods for mobile robots. The work considers a risk-aware motion planning and control scheme for autonomous systems in dynamic and uncertain environments. A novel model predictive control (MPC) method is proposed for motion planning and decision-making that systematically adjusts the safety and conservativeness in an environment with randomly moving obstacles. Collision avoidance, motion planning, motion control and autonomous navigation are some practical applications of the research results.
