When space technologies enable services for the Autonomous and driverless Transportation of persons

Damien SALLÉ, PhD and Msc in Robotics, Mcs in Mechanical Engineering. He did his PhD research at the Paris Robotics Laboratory (LRP). His research focused on methodologies for the optimal design of redundant robotic manipulators. As an application of this research, he designed a robotic instrument, optimal for minimally invasive heart surgery. He joined Robosoft in 2005 where he was in charge o...

A Non-Cooperative Game Approach to Autonomous Racing

We consider autonomous racing of two cars and present an approach to formulate the decision making as a non-cooperative non-zero-sum game. The game is formulated by restricting both players to fulfill static track constraints as well as collision constraints which depend on the combined actions of the two players. At the same time the players try to maximize their own progress. In the case wher...

Real-Time Control for Autonomous Racing Based on Viability Theory

In this paper we consider autonomous driving of miniature race cars. The viability kernel is used to efficiently generate finite look ahead trajectories that maximize progress while remaining recursively feasible with respect to static obstacles (e.g., stay inside the track). Together with a low level model predictive controller, this method makes real time autonomous racing possible. The viabi...

A Game Theoretic Approach to Autonomous Two-Player Drone Racing

To be successful in multi-player drone racing, a player must not only follow the race track in an optimal way, but also avoid collisions with the opponents. Since unveiling one’s own strategy to the adversaries in not desirable, this requires each player to independently predict the other players future actions. Nash equilibria are a powerful tool to model this and similar multi-agent coordinat...
