Before revision:  For the CLF, we exploit a neural-network-based method of Neural Contraction Metrics (NCMs), which provides a differential Lyapunov function to minimize an upper bound of the steady-state Euclidean distance between perturbed and unperturbed system trajectories . The NCM ensures the perturbed state to stay in bounded error tubes around given desired trajectories, where we sample training data for imitation learning of the NCM-CLF-based robust centralized motion planner. Using local observations in trainingalso enables its decentralized implementation. Simulation results for perturbed nonlinear systems show that the LAG-ROS achieves higher control performance and task success rate with faster execution speed for real-time computation, when compared with the existing real-time robust MPC and learning-based feedforward motion planners.
After revision:  For the CLF, we exploit a neural-network-based method of Neural Contraction Metrics (NCMs), which provides a differential Lyapunov function to minimize an upper bound of the steady-state Euclidean distance between the target and controlled trajectories is exponentially bounded linearly in the learning error, even under the existence of bounded external disturbances. We also present a convex optimization approach that minimizes the steady-state bound of the tracking error to construct the robust control law for neural network training. In numerical simulations, it is demonstrated that the proposed method indeed possesses superior properties of robustness and nonlinear stability resulting from contraction theory, whilst retaining the computational efficiency of existing learning-based feedforward motion planners.
