First, Learn What You Don't Know: Active Information Gathering for Driving at the Limits of Handling

ICRA 2026poster

Combining data-driven models that adapt online and model predictive control (MPC) has enabled effective control of nonlinear systems. However, when deployed on unstable systems, online adaptation may not be fast enough to ensure reliable simultaneous learning and control. For example, a controller o…

Learning Neural Contracting Dynamics: Extended Linearization and Global Guarantees

NeurIPS 2024poster

Global stability and robustness guarantees in learned dynamical systems are essential to ensure well-behavedness of the systems in the face of uncertainty. We present Extended Linearized Contracting Dynamics (ELCD), the first neural network-based dynamical system with global contractivity guarantees…

Robust Implicit Networks via Non-Euclidean Contractions

NeurIPS 2021poster

Implicit neural networks, a.k.a., deep equilibrium networks, are a class of implicit-depth learning models where function evaluation is performed by solving a fixed point equation. They generalize classic feedforward models and are equivalent to infinite-depth weight-tied feedforward networks. While…
