A Decade of Bayesian Optimization for Controller Tuning and Robot Learning: Tutorial, Review, and Future Prospects
David Stenger, Paul Brunzema, Johanna Menn +3
In the past decade, Bayesian optimization (BO) has emerged as a powerful and adaptable framework for automatic controller tuning and robot learning. This article offers a comprehen…
Agentic Bayesian Optimization through Surrogate-Augmented Autoresearch
Paul Brunzema, Louis Tiao, Nhat Le +3
Bayesian optimization (BO) has become the standard tool for sample-efficient optimization and owes its efficiency to uncertainty-aware search driven by generic statistical priors.…
Local Preferential Bayesian Optimization
Johanna Menn, Miriam Kober, Paul Brunzema +2
Bayesian optimization (BO) is a popular and effective approach for tuning expensive, noisy experiments, but requires the formulation of an explicit objective function. Preferential…
BayeSQP: Bayesian Optimization through Sequential Quadratic Programming
Paul Brunzema, Sebastian Trimpe
We introduce BayeSQP, a novel algorithm for general black-box optimization that merges the structure of sequential quadratic programming with concepts from Bayesian optimization. B…
The Mini Wheelbot Dataset: High-Fidelity Data for Robot Learning
Henrik Hose, Paul Brunzema, Devdutt Subhasish +1
The development of robust learning-based control algorithms for unstable systems requires high-quality, real-world data, yet access to specialized robotic hardware remains a signif…
Vision-Conditioned Variational Bayesian Last Layer Dynamics Models
Paul Brunzema, Thomas Lew, Ray Zhang +3
Agile control of robotic systems often requires anticipating how the environment affects system behavior. For example, a driver must perceive the road ahead to anticipate available…
Fine-Tuning of Neural Network Approximate MPC without Retraining via Bayesian Optimization
Henrik Hose, Paul Brunzema, Alexander von Rohr +3
Approximate model-predictive control (AMPC) aims to imitate an MPC's behavior with a neural network, removing the need to solve an expensive optimization problem at runtime. Howeve…
Utilizing Bayesian Optimization for Timetable-Independent Railway Junction Performance Determination
Tamme Emunds, Paul Brunzema, Sebastian Trimpe +1
The efficiency of railway infrastructure is significantly influenced by the mix of trains that utilize it, as different service types have competing operational requirements. While…
Bayesian Optimization via Continual Variational Last Layer Training
Paul Brunzema, Mikkel Jordahn, John Willes +3
Gaussian Processes (GPs) are widely seen as the state-of-the-art surrogate models for Bayesian optimization (BO) due to their ability to model uncertainty and their performance on…
Event-Triggered Safe Bayesian Optimization on Quadcopters
Antonia Holzapfel, Paul Brunzema, Sebastian Trimpe
Bayesian optimization (BO) has proven to be a powerful tool for automatically tuning control parameters without requiring knowledge of the underlying system dynamics. Safe BO metho…
Event-Triggered Time-Varying Bayesian Optimization
Paul Brunzema, Alexander von Rohr, Friedrich Solowjow +1
We consider the problem of sequentially optimizing a time-varying objective function using time-varying Bayesian optimization (TVBO). Current approaches to TVBO require prior knowl…
