Spring 2026 GRASP on Robotics: Francesco Bullo, University of California, Santa Barbara, “Contraction Theory for Optimization, Control, and Neural Networks”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia

This event will be in-person ONLY in Wu and Chen Auditorium. ABSTRACT This talk surveys recent advances on contraction theory for dynamical systems, as a robust, computationally-friendly and modular stability theory. Starting from basic notions, I will present novel theoretical properties and examples of contracting dynamics, including gradient systems, controlled Lure' systems, constrained optimization solvers, […]
