In the realm of supervised learning, Bayesian learning has shown robust predictive capabilities under input and parameter perturbations. Inspired by these findings, we demonstrate the robustness properties of Bayesian learning in the control search task. We seek to find a linear controller that stabilizes a one-dimensional open-loop unstable stochastic system. We compare two methods to deduce the controller: the first (deterministic) one assumes perfect knowledge of system parameter and state, the second takes into account uncertainties in both and employs Bayesian learning to compute a posterior distribution for the controller.
