That is, we can cope with the systematic exploration of a very large state space. This methodology can be applied to systems where other approaches fail. In particular, we can consider systems with an highly non-linear dynamics and lacking a uniform mathematical description (model). We can also consider situations where the required control action cannot be specified as a local action, and rather a kind of planning is required. Our methodology individuates first a raw optimal controller, then extends it to obtain a more robust one. A case study is presented which considers the well known truck-trailer obstacle avoidance parking problem, in a parking lot with obstacles on it. The complex non-linear dynamics of the truck-trailer system, within the presence of obstacles, makes the parking problem extremely hard. We show how, by our methodology, we can obtain optimal controllers with different degrees of robustness.", optnote="exported from refbase (http://mclab.di.uniroma1.it/publications/show.php?record=79), last updated on Sat, 24 Nov 2012 14:03:00 +0100", issn="972-8865-59-7", doi="10.1007/978-3-540-79142-3", opturl="http://dblp.uni-trier.de/db/conf/icinco/icinco2006-icso.html$\#$PennaMTIMT06", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-79142-3", file=":http://mclab.di.uniroma1.it/publications/papers/papers/Della Penna2006.pdf:PDF" }
