Recent advances in Vision Language Models (VLMs) have enhanced their application in robotics, encompassing both high-level task planning and low-level action control. Despite their strong performance across various robotic tasks, even for zero-shot scenarios, most VLM applications remain open-loop,
Many important scientific problems involve multivariate optimization coupled with slow and laborious experimental measurements. These high-dimensional searches can be defined by complex, non-convex optimization landscapes that resemble needle-in-a-haystack surfaces, leading to entrapment in local mi
Robotics and automation offer massive acceleration for solving intractable, multivariate scientific problems such as materials discovery, but the available search spaces can be dauntingly large. Bayesian optimization has emerged as a popular sample-efficient optimization engine, thriving in tasks wh…
