Deep Model Predictive Control with Stability Guarantees

Abstract

This paper presents a deep learning based model predictive control algorithm for control affine nonlinear discrete time systems with matched and bounded state dependent uncertainties of unknown structure. Since the structure of uncertainties is not known, a deep learning based adaptive mechanism is utilized to mitigate disturbances. In order to avoid any unwanted behavior during the learning phase, a tube based model predictive controller is employed, which ensures satisfaction of constraints and input-to-state stability of the closed-loop states. In addition, the proposed approach guarantees the convergence of states to origin under certain verifiable conditions. To ensure stability and undesirable learning transients, a dual-timescale adaptation mechanism is proposed, where the weights of the last layer of the neural network are updated each time instant while the inner layers are trained on a slower timescale using training data collected online and selectively stored in a buffer on the basis of singular value maximization criterion. Our results are validated through numerical experiments on wing-rock dynamics. These results indicate that the proposed deep-MPC architecture is effective in learning to control safety critical systems without suffering instability drawbacks.
