Control Contraction Metrics (CCMs) provide a nonlinear controller design involving an offline search for a Riemannian metric and an online search for a shortest path between the current and desired trajectories. In this paper, we generalize CCMs to Finsler geometry, allowing the use of non-Riemannian metrics. We provide open loop and sampled data controllers. The sampled data control construction presented here does not require real time computation of globally shortest paths, simplifying…

Decentralized nonlinear feedback design with separable control contraction metrics

Methods based on contraction theory are employed to render the controller-synthesis problem scalable and suitable to use distributed optimization, and the nature of the approach is constructive, because the computation of the desired feedback law is obtained by solving a convex optimization problem.

Unifying Robot Trajectory Tracking with Control Contraction Metrics
