A heavy-ball type curve search method for smooth convexly constrained optimization
Federica Donnini, Pierluigi Mansueto
This paper addresses smooth convexly constrained optimization problems where the Euclidean projection onto the feasible set is computationally tractable. Although momentum techniqu…
A Nonmonotone Front Descent Method for Bound-Constrained Multi-Objective Optimization
Pierluigi Mansueto
We introduce a nonmonotone extension of the Front Descent framework for multiobjective optimization. The method uses novel nonmonotone line searches that allow temporary increases…
Projection-based curve pattern search for black-box optimization over smooth convex sets
Xiaoxi Jia, Matteo Lapucci, Pierluigi Mansueto
In this paper, we deal with the problem of optimizing a black-box smooth function over a full-dimensional smooth convex set. We study sets of feasible curves that allow to properly…
Optimization-Driven Design of Monolithic Soft-Rigid Grippers
Pierluigi Mansueto, Mihai Dragusanu, Anjum Saeed +3
Sim-to-real transfer remains a significant challenge in soft robotics due to the unpredictability introduced by common manufacturing processes such as 3D printing and molding. Thes…
