AI Control Scientist: LLM-driven Agentic System for Automated Control Design

The paper introduces AI Control Scientist (AICS), a large language model–driven agent that automatically generates optimized controllers from language design requirements. AICS consists of a Task Modeling Agent that translates user needs into engineering constraints, a Controller Design Agent that produces candidate controller structures and code, and a Parameter Tuning Agent that refines parameters to meet closed‑loop performance criteria. Experiments show that AICS outperforms existing automated baselines in design success rate and optimization efficiency, demonstrating its potential to shift control system design from human‑driven to agent‑driven approaches.

Stop Giving Your AI Agent a Search Box and Start Giving It Typed Tools, Hard Bounds, and a Gate It Cannot Talk Past

The article explores the effects of removing a search box from an AI agent and instead providing it with typed tools, hard bounds, and a gate that it cannot bypass. It examines how the agent navigates a knowledge graph within strict limits and discusses findings from four models and one incorrect prediction regarding the value of this approach.
