DOI: 10.1109/lcsys.2018.2853182
Abstract: The need for computationally-efficient control methods of dynamical systems under temporal logic tasks has recently become more apparent. Existing methods are computationally demanding and hence often not applicable in practice. Especially with respect to multi-robot… read more here.
