Koopman-Equivariant Gaussian Processes

Petar Bevanda, Max Beier, Armin Lederer +3

Credible forecasting and representation learning of dynamical systems are of ever-increasing importance for reliable decision-making. To that end, we propose a family of Gaussian p…

Safe Learning-Based Control of Elastic Joint Robots via Control Barrier Functions

Armin Lederer, Azra Begzadić, Neha Das +1

Ensuring safety is of paramount importance in physical human-robot interaction applications. This requires both adherence to safety constraints defined on the system state, as well…

Uniform Error and Posterior Variance Bounds for Gaussian Process Regression with Application to Safe Control

Armin Lederer, Jonas Umlauft, Sandra Hirche

In application areas where data generation is expensive, Gaussian processes are a preferred supervised learning model due to their high data-efficiency. Particularly in model-based…

Distributed Risk-Sensitive Safety Filters for Uncertain Discrete-Time Systems

Armin Lederer, Erfaun Noorani, Andreas Krause

Ensuring safety in multi-agent systems is a significant challenge, particularly in settings where centralized coordination is impractical. In this work, we propose a novel risk-sen…

Safe Reinforcement Learning via Confidence-Based Filters

Sebastian Curi, Armin Lederer, Sandra Hirche +1

Ensuring safety is a crucial challenge when deploying reinforcement learning (RL) to real-world systems. We develop confidence-based safety filters, a control-theoretic approach fo…

Koopman Kernel Regression

Petar Bevanda, Max Beier, Armin Lederer +3

Many machine learning approaches for decision making, such as reinforcement learning, rely on simulators or predictive models to forecast the time-evolution of quantities of intere…
