Gaussian processes for data-efficient learning in robotics and control
Description | 1) Sparse efficient sampling based on informatics criteria can provide stable control algorithms and enable scalable multi-agent coordination. 2) Control mechanisms may be learned from data without a physical mechanism known 3) Guarantees of stability may be derived for probabilistic control methods 4) Bayesian optimisation allows for rapid learning of unknown functions. |

Description | Our control models have been integrated into drilling simulation by the industrial partner Schlumberger. These models show how, using sparse data, we can effectively use AI techniques to improve reliable control model creation - offering formal some guarantees as well. The extensions of this work can be useful in many areas, from finance to autonomous vehicles. |
