We explored a central theme across our research: when integrated within a control-theoretic framework, machine learning can enhance the performance of physical systems while preserving formal guarantees of stability and robustness. Specifically, we discussed how the swarm embeddings proposed in our <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.automatica.2025.112221">recent work</a> can be reframed as equilibrium manifolds to ensure swarms can maintain coherence and stability while learning to adapt to their environment.</p>
