Solving Markov Decision Processes with Future Information via MPC

Shambhuraj Sawant, Akhil S Anand, Dirk Reinhardt +1

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is widely used in industrial and robotic systems for enforcing constraints and embedding domain knowledge through finite-horizon optimization-based p…

Uncertainty Propagation under Residual Disturbances: A Smart-Home Case Study

Guanru Pan, Dirk Reinhardt, Sebastien Gros +1

This paper presents a data-driven framework for uncertainty propagation under unmeasured or statistically unmodeled (unstructured) disturbances. We consider residual disturbances,…

Bi-Level Reinforcement Learning Pathway for Sim-to-Real Optimality

Akhil S Anand, Shambhuraj Sawant, Paavo Parmas +3

Training Reinforcement Learning (RL) policies using simulation models before deployment in real-world environments is a common strategy when real-world interaction is expensive. Th…

Synthesis of Model Predictive Control and Reinforcement Learning: Survey and Classification

Rudolf Reiter, Jasper Hoffmann, Dirk Reinhardt +6

The fields of MPC and RL consider two successful control techniques for Markov decision processes. Both approaches are derived from similar fundamental principles, and both are wid…

All AI Models are Wrong, but Some are Optimal

Akhil S Anand, Shambhuraj Sawant, Dirk Reinhardt +1

AI models that predict the future behavior of a system (a.k.a. predictive AI models) are central to intelligent decision-making. However, decision-making using predictive AI models…

Economic Model Predictive Control as a Solution to Markov Decision Processes

Dirk Reinhardt, Akhil S. Anand, Shambhuraj Sawant +1

Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) offer a fairly generic and powerful framework to discuss the notion of optimal policies for dynamic systems, in particular when the dynamics are st…

Data-Driven Domestic Flexible Demand: Observations from experiments in cold climate

Dirk Reinhardt, Wenqi Cai, Sebastien Gros

In this chapter, we report on our experience with domestic flexible electric energy demand based on a regular commercial (HVAC)-based heating system in a house. Our focus is on inv…

Data-Driven Predictive Control and MPC: Do we achieve optimality?

Akhil S Anand, Shambhuraj Sawant, Dirk Reinhardt +1

In this paper, we explore the interplay between Predictive Control and closed-loop optimality, spanning from Model Predictive Control to Data-Driven Predictive Control. Predictive…
