Viability Envelopes Maciej Kalisiak Michiel van de Panne
Idea and Motivation • exploring “pushing the envelope” metaphor • i.e., operating at/near (safe) limits • have the computer enforce safety • task: contain system state in envelope • viability theory: too general, abstract • our work: concrete, implementable solution
Envelope example: rocket • Xout = Xf Xfi • Xin = XopXur • want to operate in Xop… • ... or at least Xin
Containment: 1-step • idea: override user input if it breaches envelope in 1 time step • limited usefulness: sharp corrections
Containment: multi-step • idea: look further ahead • advantages: • milder corrections • useful info for haptics, allows guidance • more robust with approximate envelopes
Practical Trade-offs • approximate envelope using Nearest Neighbor • discretize control space

Future work • more complex systems • local-only knowledge of terrain • “building block”, archetype envelopes • explore how best to use with haptics
