Applying policy optimization to Model Predictive Control (MPC) yields high-performance and reliable controllers. However, the resulting controllers often overfit their training conditions and suffer significant performance degradation in unseen tasks. We propose a novel framework…
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a metal additive manufacturing process where temperature stabilization is of vital importance to avoid defects such as distortion and cracking. Existing control methods require manual tuning, increasing the risk of part failure when printing comp…
We consider the finite-time optimal control of stochastic systems subject to a probabilistic constraint on the trajectories' safety. Such formulations are known as joint chance constrained optimal control problems. The common practice is to jointly minimise the expected cost of a…
