Sampling-based MPC Using Trust Regions

A trust-region formulation is proposed for sampling-based model predictive control algorithms such as MPPI, constraining updates of the proposal distribution via a KL divergence bound and, optionally, an entropy lower bound. This replaces heuristic tuning of temperature or momentum with values optimal with respect to the underlying Lagrangian.

Why it matters

Principled hyperparameter tuning improves predictability and reproducibility of sampling-based controllers in complex system management.
