I presented the concept of predictive safety filters as part of the autonomy talks at ETH. Due to the current pandemic, the talks are available online.
About me
I’m currently working at Bosch Central Research on the safe control of uncertain dynamical systems. Before, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the intelligent control systems group at IDSC ETH. My research interests are in Safe Learning Control, Model Predictive Control, and Model-based Reinforcement Learning; see also my Google Scholar profile.
