A view on learning robust goal-conditioned value functions: Interplay between RL and MPC

Nathan P. Lawrence, Philip D. Loewen, Michael G. Forbes +2

Reinforcement learning (RL) and model predictive control (MPC) offer a wealth of distinct approaches for automatic decision-making under uncertainty. Given the impact both fields h…

Reinforcement Learning with Partial Parametric Model Knowledge

Shuyuan Wang, Philip D. Loewen, Nathan P. Lawrence +2

We adapt reinforcement learning (RL) methods for continuous control to bridge the gap between complete ignorance and perfect knowledge of the environment. Our method, Partial Knowl…

A modular framework for stabilizing deep reinforcement learning control

Nathan P. Lawrence, Philip D. Loewen, Shuyuan Wang +2

We propose a framework for the design of feedback controllers that combines the optimization-driven and model-free advantages of deep reinforcement learning with the stability guar…

Meta-Reinforcement Learning for the Tuning of PI Controllers: An Offline Approach

Daniel G. McClement, Nathan P. Lawrence, Johan U. Backstrom +3

Meta-learning is a branch of machine learning which trains neural network models to synthesize a wide variety of data in order to rapidly solve new problems. In process control, ma…

Deep Reinforcement Learning with Shallow Controllers: An Experimental Application to PID Tuning

Nathan P. Lawrence, Michael G. Forbes, Philip D. Loewen +3

Deep reinforcement learning (RL) is an optimization-driven framework for producing control strategies for general dynamical systems without explicit reliance on process models. Goo…
