Hysteresis-Based RL: Robustifying Reinforcement Learning-based Control Policies via Hybrid Control
Jan de Priester, Ricardo G. Sanfelice, Nathan van de Wouw
Reinforcement learning (RL) is a promising approach for deriving control policies for complex systems. As we show in two control problems, the derived policies from using the Proxi…
Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for the Nonincrease of Scalar Functions Along Solutions to Constrained Differential Inclusions
Mohamed Maghenem, Alessandro Melis, Ricardo G. Sanfelice
In this paper, we propose necessary and sufficient conditions for a scalar function to be nonincreasing along solutions to general differential inclusions with state constraints. T…
Exponentially Converging Distributed Gradient Descent with Intermittent Communication via Hybrid Methods
Katherine Hendrickson, Dawn Hustig-Schultz, Matthew Hale +1
We present a hybrid systems framework for multi-agent optimization in which agents execute computations in continuous time and communicate in discrete time. The optimization algori…
CLF-Based Control for Hybrid Dynamical Systems
Ricardo Sanfelice
Pointwise minimum norm control laws for hybrid dynamical systems are proposed. Hybrid systems are given by differential equations capturing the continuous dynamics or flows, and by…
Further results on synergistic Lyapunov functions and hybrid feedback design through backstepping
Christopher G. Mayhew, Ricardo G. Sanfelice, Andrew R. Teel
We extend results on backstepping hybrid feedbacks by exploiting synergistic Lyapunov function and feedback (SLFF) pairs in a generalized form. Compared to existing results, we del…
Forward Invariance of Sets for Hybrid Dynamical Systems (Part II)
Jun Chai, Ricardo Sanfelice
This article presents tools for the design of control laws inducing robust controlled forward invariance of a set for hybrid dynamical systems modeled as hybrid inclusions. A set h…
