Practical Solutions for Real-time Control Optimization
Challenges in Stochastic Optimization
Stochastic optimization involves making decisions in uncertain environments, such as robotics and autonomy. Computational efficiency is crucial for handling complex dynamics and cost functions in ever-changing environments.
Existing Control Optimization Approaches
Control optimization methods are broadly classified into gradient-based and sampling-based methods. While gradient-based methods are efficient but limited, sampling-based methods like MPPI are computationally expensive.
