Sharing the Control Authority Between Deep Reinforcement Learning and Model Predictive Control: Application to Multi-Class Transportation Networks
Giray Onur, Azita Dabiri, Bart De Schutter
Transportation networks, in particular multi-class transportation networks (i.e., networks with mixed vehicle types), are complex systems that are challenging to control. Recently,…
On the Value Function of Infinite-Horizon Optimal Control of Piecewise Affine Systems
Francesco Cordiano, Kanghui He, Bart De Schutter
In this paper, we study the structure of the value function in constrained infinite-time optimal control (CITOC) problems of piecewise affine (PWA) systems, with or $\ell_…
Entanglement-Free Trajectory Planning for Tethered Mobile Robots with a Slack Tether
Gianpietro Battocletti, Dimitris Boskos, Bart De Schutter
In motion planning algorithms for tethered mobile robots, the entanglement state of the tether is a critical aspect to consider during the planning phase. This is particularly impo…
Learning-Based Stochastic Optimal Control with Infinite-Horizon Probabilistic Constraints
Francesco Cordiano, Kanghui He, Bart De Schutter
In this paper, we consider stochastic optimal control problems with infinite-horizon joint chance constraints. By means of an appropriate state augmentation, we reformulate the ori…
Model Predictive Control and Moving Horizon Estimation using Statistically Weighted Data-Based Ensemble Models
Laura Boca de Giuli, Samuel Mallick, Alessio La Bella +3
This paper presents a model predictive control (MPC) framework leveraging an ensemble of data-based models to optimally control complex systems under multiple operating conditions.…
Second-Order MPC-Based Distributed Q-Learning
Samuel Mallick, Filippo Airaldi, Azita Dabiri +1
The state of the art for model predictive control (MPC)-based distributed Q-learning is limited to first-order gradient updates of the MPC parameterization. In general, using secon…
