Cooptimizing Safety and Performance Using Safety Value-Constrained Model Predictive Control
Hao Wang, Nam Nguyen, Armand Jordana +2
Autonomous systems are increasingly deployed in real-world environments, where they must achieve high performance while maintaining safety under state and input constraints. Althou…
Using Language Models as Closed-Loop High-Level Planners for Robotics Applications: A Brief Overview and Benchmarks
Hao Wang, Sathwik Karnik, Bea Lim +1
Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision Language Models (VLMs) have become popular tools for embodied high-level planning. However, their deployment in black-box settings often lea…
Safe and Performant Deployment of Autonomous Systems via Model Predictive Control and Hamilton-Jacobi Reachability Analysis
Hao Wang, Armand Jordana, Ludovic Righetti +1
While we have made significant algorithmic developments to enable autonomous systems to perform sophisticated tasks, it remains difficult for them to perform tasks effective and sa…
Cooptimizing Safety and Performance with a Control-Constrained Formulation
Hao Wang, Adityaya Dhande, Somil Bansal
Autonomous systems have witnessed a rapid increase in their capabilities, but it remains a challenge for them to perform tasks both effectively and safely. The fact that performanc…
