Reinforcement Learning based Computational Adaptive Optimal Control and System Identification


Abstract: The duality of estimation and control problems is a well- known fact in control theory literature. Parameter convergence and closed loop stability are usually of paramount interest for a given adaptive control scheme. However, the controller thus designed doesn’t guarantee any performance other than ensuring closed loop stability and signal boundedness. In adaptive control, controllers while ensuring closed loop stability do not guarantee parameter convergence to true parameters. Thus there is a need for a higher level abstraction for a control scheme which acts in stages and prioritizes various aspects at different stages. The stage abstraction for the controller is inspired by human intuition towards dealing with control and identification simultaneously and hence named “Intuitive control framework”.

The first stage prioritizes stabilization of states only. The controller moves onto the next stage after the unknown system is stabilized. The subsequent stages involve optimization with different performance metrics (typically linear quadratic cost optimization) through adaptive learning. After enough information for identification is acquired, the control schemes developed for various optimal metrics are used to estimate the unknown parameters in the final stage. This narrative for selective prioritization of objectives and a higher level abstraction for control schemes is illustrated for a continuous linear time invariant state space realization with state feedback.

Numerous real-world applications can benefit from this online system identification routine inspired by the human cognitive process. This offers a seamless integration of control and identification with a higher level of priorities. Further, the identified system matrices enable computation of forward reachable sets to assess future states. The proposed framework offers the only way to perform such computation for an unknown system without the need for extensive experimentation.
