This study proposes an encrypted visual feedback control algorithm for regulating a one-dimensional stage using Ring Learning With Errors (RLWE) encryption. The proposed algorithm performs both feature extraction and controller computations directly on encrypted images, ensuring that sensitive visual data remain protected throughout the entire control process. Furthermore, an image captured by the camera is encrypted into a single ciphertext leveraging the message packing technique of RLWE encryption, thereby reducing computational cost. The effectiveness of the proposed framework is demonstrated through numerical simulations.

In recent years, many control problems of autonomous mobile robots have been developed. In particular, the robots are required to be safe; that is, they need to be controlled to avoid colliding with people or objects while traveling. In addition, since safety should be ensured even under irregular disturbances, the control for safety is required to be effective for stochastic systems. In this study, we design an almost sure safety-critical control law, which ensures safety with probability one, for a two-wheeled vehicle based on the stochastic control barrier function approach. In the procedure, we also consider a system model using the relative distance measured by a 2D LiDAR. The validity of the proposed control scheme is confirmed by experiments of a collision avoidance problem for a two-wheeled vehicle under vibration.
