These moments are associated with the steady-state output response of the system to be reduced, interconnected in an open-loop fashion with a signal generator. Model matching thus relies on strong stability properties and on the availability of a model of the signal generator.\n<br \/><br \/>\n\nTo relax these requirements, in the first part of the talk we introduce a data-driven\nprocedure for computing reduced-order models from input-output data generated by an agnostic signal generator. The moments are directly identified from the output of the system to be reduced, and the resulting reduced-order models achieve asymptotic matching.\n\n<br \/><br \/>\n\nTo relax the stability requirements, in the second part of the talk we revisit the notion of moment matching by introducing the concept of closed-loop interpolation. This notion relies upon the construction of a novel class of signal generators, which are\nfeedback-interconnected with the plant to be reduced, and allows the definition of\nmoments and models for unstable systems. The existence of a family of models that\nparameterise all, possibly unstable, systems achieving moment matching in a\nclosed-loop fashion is also presented.<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6db29f9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6db29f9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>Bio:<\/b> Alessandro Astolfi (IFAC Fellow, FIEEE, Academia Europaea, FIET,\nITATEC, ACA Fellow, EUCA Fellow) received the Laurea in Electronic Engineering\nfrom the University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy, in 1991; the M.Sc. degree in\nInformation Theory and the Ph.D. degree with Medal of Honor with a thesis on\ndiscontinuous stabilization of holonomic systems from ETH Zurich, Switzerland, in\n1995; and the Ph.D. degree for his work on nonlinear robust control from the\nUniversity of Rome \u201cLa Sapienza\u201d in 1996.\n\n<br \/><br \/>\n\nFrom 1992 to 1996 he was a Research Associate at ETH Zurich.

But how do we mathematically define or measure diversity in motion planning for robotics manipulators? In this talk, I will provide a probabilistic interpretation for diversity and show how tools designed for machine learning\u2014such as differentiable programming languages and parallel computation on GPUs\u2014can be utilized for large-scale probabilistic inference in planning and control. I will describe a powerful nonparametric inference method that leverages both differentiability and parallelism to provide posterior approximations for real-time Model Predictive Control (MPC), and task and motion planning. Finally, I will formulate diversity in trajectory planning through a new mathematical tool\u2014signature transforms\u2014that leads to highly resilient, next-generation motion planning methods capable of handling the uncertainties of real-world robotics manipulation.<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-251d5d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"251d5d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>Bio:<\/b> Fabio Ramos is a Professor of Robotics and Machine Learning at The University of Sydney in Australia, and a Principal Research Scientist at NVIDIA, USA.
