Re-Examining Linear Embeddings for High-Dimensional Bayesian Optimization

Benjamin Letham, Roberto Calandra, Akshara Rai +1

Bayesian optimization (BO) is a popular approach to optimize expensive-to-evaluate black-box functions. A significant challenge in BO is to scale to high-dimensional parameter spac…

Encoding Physical Constraints in Differentiable Newton-Euler Algorithm

Giovanni Sutanto, Austin S. Wang, Yixin Lin +4

The recursive Newton-Euler Algorithm (RNEA) is a popular technique for computing the dynamics of robots. RNEA can be framed as a differentiable computational graph, enabling the dy…
