AI Agents in the Physical World: Balancing Safety & Performance
Balancing safety and performance is crucial to deploying autonomous agents in physical environments. In particular, autonomous racing is a domain that penalizes safe but conservative policies, highlighting the need for robust, adaptive strategies. Current approaches either make simplifying assumptions about other agents or lack robust mechanisms for online adaptation.
