Safe Bayesian Optimization for Complex Control Systems via Additive Gaussian Processes

arXiv:2408.16307v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Automatic controller tuning is attractive for robotics and mechatronic systems whose dynamics are difficult to model accurately, but direct black-box optimization can be unsafe because each query is executed on the physical plant. Existing safe Bayesian optimization (BO) methods provide high-probability safety guarantees, yet their practical use in multi-loop control is limited by two coupled difficulties: the controller parameter space i
