Title
Reactive controllers for differentially flat systems with temporal logic constraints
Abstract
We propose a procedure for the synthesis of control protocols for systems governed by nonlinear differential equations and constrained by temporal logic specifications. This procedure relies on a particular finite-state abstraction of the underlying continuous dynamics and a discrete representation of the external environmental signals. A two-player game formulation provides computationally efficient means to construct a discrete strategy based on the finite-state model. We focus on systems with differentially flat outputs, which, in a straightforward manner, allows the construction of continuous control signals from the discrete transitions dictated by the discrete strategy. The resulting continuous-time output trajectories are provably guaranteed to robustly satisfy the original specifications.
