报告题目：Data-Driven Control of Unknown Continuous-time Systems with an Application to
Connected Vehicles
内容简介：In this talk, we present a data-driven control theory for adaptive optimal control design of completely unknown continuous-time systems. Techniques from reinforcement learning, dynamic programming and modern nonlinear control are used to obtain a new class of learning-based adaptive optimal controllers. Then, we show how this data-driven non-model-based control theory can be applied to solve the adaptive optimal control problem for connected autonomous and human-operated vehicles. For simplicity, we consider the scenarios where n human-driven vehicles only transmit motional data and an autonomous vehicle in the tail receives the broadcasted data from preceding vehicles by wireless vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication devices. Considering the cases of range-limited V2V communication and input saturation, several optimal control problems are formulated to minimize the errors of distance and velocity and to optimize the fuel usage. By employing adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) technique, optimal controllers are obtained without relying on the knowledge of system dynamics. Extensions to global nonlinear/adaptive optimal control and adaptive optimal tracking with disturbance rejection are studied. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches is demonstrated via online learning control of connected vehicles in the Paramics’ traffic micro-simulation.
