In this paper, a sampling approach is proposed to estimate the domain of attraction (DoA) of nonlinear systems in real time, which is validated to approximate the DoAs of stable equilibria.
Abstract
Most stabilizing controllers designed for nonlinear systems are valid only within a specific region of the state space, called the domain of attraction (DoA). Computation of the DoA is usually costly and time-consuming. This paper proposes a computationally effective sampling approach to estimate the DoAs of nonlinear systems in real time. This method is validated to approximate the DoAs of stable equilibria in several nonlinear systems. In addition, it is implemented for the passivity-based learning controller designed for a second-order dynamical system. Simulation and experimental results show that, in all cases studied, the proposed sampling technique quickly estimates the DoAs, corroborating its suitability for real-time applications.

The Size of the Sync Basin Revisited

TL;DR: The equal-frequency Kuramoto model on a cycle is considered and it is found that the basin volumes scale as (1-4q/n)n, contrasting with the Gaussian behavior postulated in the study by Wiley et al.

Robot Contact Language for Manipulation Planning

TL;DR: A contact-based language for robotic manipulation and planning, based on the contact between a collection of objects, robots, and surfaces, is proposed, which considers making and breaking contact as the bridge between high-level planning and low-level controllers.
