ERGO: A New Robust Design Optimization Technique Combining Multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization With Analytical Uncertainty Quantification

In this work, robust design optimization (RDO) is treated, motivated by the increasing desire to account for variability in the design phase. The problem is formulated in a multi-objective setting with the objective of simultaneously minimizing the mean of the objective and its variance due to variability of design variables and/or parameters. This allows the designer to choose its robustness level without the need to repeat the optimization as...
