Learning quadrotor dynamics · Exploring within barrier-certified regions

Gaussian processes learn uncertain dynamics while barrier certificates constrain exploration to a safe region. Adaptive sampling expands that region and recursive GP updates support model learning; the author version reports simulation results.

Source overview

Gaussian processes learn uncertain dynamics while barrier certificates constrain exploration to a safe region. Adaptive sampling expands that region and recursive GP updates support model learning; the author version reports simulation results.

Use and review

Checked publication metadata and the submitted author abstract. High-probability claims depend on GP statistics and model assumptions; hardware validation and identity with the final proceedings text were not established.
