A hierarchical control layout is proposed: in the outer layer, a path planner generates an obstacle-free trajectory based on the available local information; in the inner layer, an Inverse-Kinematics Model Predictive Controller tracks the trajectory while reactively avoiding unseen obstacles and self-collisions at a higher rate. By constructing a polytopic under-approximation of the free environment and employing a linearization of the task, the predictive controller features a convex quadratic cost and linear constraints, thus requiring the solution of a quadratic program at each time step. The proposed method is evaluated on the kinematic model of a MyCobot280 robotic arm, showing the potential for real-time feasibility. \u00a9 2024 IEEE.<\/div><p class=\"tp_close_menu\"><a class=\"tp_close\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('392','tp_abstract')\">Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"tp_links\" id=\"tp_links_392\" style=\"display:none;\"><div class=\"tp_links_entry\"><ul class=\"tp_pub_list\"><li><i class=\"fas fa-globe\"><\/i><a class=\"tp_pub_list\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scopus.com\/inward\/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85208276051&amp;doi=10.1109%2fCASE59546.2024.10711546&amp;partnerID=40&amp;md5=dc5df15c31ee283e5083ebcec6b1e560\" title=\"https:\/\/www.scopus.com\/inward\/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85208276051&amp;doi=10.1109%[...]\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.scopus.com\/inward\/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85208276051&amp;doi=10.1109%[...]<\/a><\/li><li><i class=\"ai ai-doi\"><\/i><a class=\"tp_pub_list\" href=\"https:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1109\/CASE59546.2024.10711546\" title=\"Follow DOI:10.1109\/CASE59546.2024.10711546\" target=\"_blank\">doi:10.1109\/CASE59546.2024.10711546<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><p class=\"tp_close_menu\"><a class=\"tp_close\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('392','tp_links')\">Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tp_publication tp_publication_conference\"><div class=\"tp_pub_number\">4.<\/div><div class=\"tp_pub_info\"><p class=\"tp_pub_author\"> Sabug, Lorenzo;  Ruiz, Fredy;  Fagiano, Lorenzo<\/p><p class=\"tp_pub_title\"><a class=\"tp_title_link\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('410','tp_links')\" style=\"cursor:pointer;\">Multi-Agent Global Optimization with Decision Variable Coupling<\/a> <span class=\"tp_pub_type tp_  conference\">Conference<\/span> <\/p><p class=\"tp_pub_additional\"><span class=\"tp_pub_additional_year\">2024<\/span>.<\/p><p class=\"tp_pub_menu\"><span class=\"tp_abstract_link\"><a id=\"tp_abstract_sh_410\" class=\"tp_show\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('410','tp_abstract')\" title=\"Show abstract\" style=\"cursor:pointer;\">Abstract<\/a><\/span> | <span class=\"tp_resource_link\"><a id=\"tp_links_sh_410\" class=\"tp_show\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('410','tp_links')\" title=\"Show links and resources\" style=\"cursor:pointer;\">Links<\/a><\/span> | <span class=\"tp_bibtex_link\"><a id=\"tp_bibtex_sh_410\" class=\"tp_show\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('410','tp_bibtex')\" title=\"Visualizza BibTeX\" style=\"cursor:pointer;\">BibTeX<\/a><\/span><\/p><div class=\"tp_bibtex\" id=\"tp_bibtex_410\" style=\"display:none;\"><div class=\"tp_bibtex_entry\"><pre>@conference{Sabug20242544,<br \/>\r\ntitle = {Multi-Agent Global Optimization with Decision Variable Coupling},<br \/>\r\nauthor = {Lorenzo Sabug and Fredy Ruiz and Lorenzo Fagiano},<br \/>\r\nurl = {https:\/\/www.scopus.com\/inward\/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-86000520212&doi=10.1109%2fCDC56724.2024.10886148&partnerID=40&md5=22a6fbefd438993a678fbc1fb7c8d063},<br \/>\r\ndoi = {10.1109\/CDC56724.2024.10886148},<br \/>\r\nyear  = {2024},<br \/>\r\ndate = {2024-01-01},<br \/>\r\njournal = {Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Decision and Control},<br \/>\r\npages = {2544 \u2013 2550},<br \/>\r\nabstract = {A cooperative, multi-agent global optimization problem is considered, where the global cost function is the sum of the agents' private, non-convex costs.
