Finite-time Reachability for Constrained, Partially Uncontrolled Nonlinear Systems
Overview
This paper presents a technique to drive the state of a constrained nonlinear system to a specified target state in finite time, when the system suffers a partial loss in control authority. Our technique builds on a recent method to control constrained nonlinear systems by building a simple, linear driftless approximation at the initial state. We construct a partition of the finite time horizon into successively smaller intervals, and design cont
