Abstract
The present disclosure provides a controller and a method for controlling an operation of a vehicle subject to constraints based on continuously parametrized sets (CPS). The controller comprises at least one processor and a non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the controller to determine a trajectory for the vehicle using an isoperimetric reformulation of the constraints based on the CPS. The trajectory is iteratively updated with successive approximations of the CPS using linearized dynamics of the vehicle corresponding to a current trajectory iterate. The controller further controls the vehicle according to the trajectory.
