Active Noise Floor Estimation for Reliability-Optimal POMDPs: A Value-of-Noise-Information Approach

Hyung-Jin Yoon

The paper introduces an active framework for estimating unknown sensing and execution noise in partially observed systems, using a Value of Noise Information metric to decide when…

Adaptive MPPI with Online Disturbance Covariance Estimation: Provable Stability Tightening via Spatial Smoothing

Hyung-Jin Yoon, Hunmin Kim

We study Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) control for nonlinear systems with additive process disturbances whose covariance is unknown, spatially varying, and slowly time-vary…

Residual-Conservative Model Predictive Path Integral Control

Hyung-Jin Yoon, Hunmin Kim

Sampling-based model predictive control methods handle nonlinear dynamics and complex cost landscapes through Monte Carlo rollouts, yet typically employ fixed constraint penalties…

Stochastic Stability of Nonlinear MPPI via Contraction Theory and Control Lyapunov Functions

Hyung-Jin Yoon, Hunmin Kim

Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) control is directly implementable on nonlinear systems because its online update requires only forward rollouts of the dynamics, not gradients…

Finite Reliability Representations: Noise-Calibrated Belief-Space Covers for Reliable Decision-Making

Hyung-Jin Yoon, Hunmin Kim

Physical sensing and actuation noise floors should inform how much belief resolution a decision-making system can reliably use. We introduce Finite Reliability Representations (FRR…

Finite-Sample Closed-Loop Stability of Model Predictive Path Integral Control for Linear Time-Invariant Systems

Hyung-Jin Yoon, Hunmin Kim

We establish finite-sample closed-loop stability guarantees for Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) control applied to discrete-time Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) systems with addi…
