Improving Drone Racing Performance Through Iterative Learning MPC

IROS 2025

Autonomous drone racing presents a challenging control problem, requiring real-time decision-making and robust handling of nonlinear system dynamics. While iterative learning model predictive control (LMPC) offers a promising framework for iterative performance improvement, its direct application to

Safety Filtering While Training: Improving the Performance and Sample Efficiency of Reinforcement Learning Agents

RA-L 2025

Reinforcement learning (RL) controllers are flexible and performant but rarely guarantee safety. Safety filters impart hard safety guarantees to RL controllers while maintaining flexibility. However, safety filters can cause undesired behaviours due to the separation between the controller and the s

Semantically Safe Robot Manipulation: From Semantic Scene Understanding to Motion Safeguards

RA-L 2025

Ensuring safe interactions in human-centric environments requires robots to understand and adhere to constraints recognized by humans as “common sense” (e.g., “<italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">moving a cup of water above a laptop is un
