Trajectory Generation, Control, and Safety with Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models

Nicolò Botteghi, Federico Califano, Mannes Poel +1

We present a framework for safety-critical optimal control of physical systems based on denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPMs). The technology of control barrier function…
