Data-Driven Control and Optimization under Noisy and Uncertain Conditions

Baiwei Guo

Control systems operating in real-world environments often face disturbances arising from measurement noise and model mismatch. These factors can significantly impact the perfor- mance and safety of the system. In this thesis, we aim to leverage data to de ...

Hybrid Quadratic Programming - Pullback Bundle Dynamical Systems Control

Aude Billard, Bernardo Fichera

Dynamical System (DS)-based closed-loop control is a simple and effective way to generate reactive motion policies that well generalize to the robotic workspace, while retaining stability guarantees. Lately the formalism has been expanded in order to handl ...

Neural System Level Synthesis: Learning over All Stabilizing Policies for Nonlinear Systems

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Luca Furieri, Clara Lucía Galimberti

We address the problem of designing stabilizing control policies for nonlinear systems in discrete-time, while minimizing an arbitrary cost function. When the system is linear and the cost is convex, the System Level Synthesis (SLS) approach offers an effe ...

Low-Complexity Optimization-Based Control: Design, Methods and Applications

Ivan Pejcic

Optimization-based controllers are advanced control systems whose mechanism of determining control inputs requires the solution of a mathematical optimization problem. In this thesis, several contributions related to the computational effort required for o ...

A Data-Driven Frequency-Domain Approach for Robust Controller Design via Convex Optimization

Achille Nicoletti

The objective of this dissertation is to develop data-driven frequency-domain methods for designing robust controllers through the use of convex optimization algorithms. Many of today's industrial processes are becoming more complex, and modeling accurate ...

Brillouin Distributed Optical Fiber Sensor Based on a Closed-Loop Configuration

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Zhisheng Yang, Desmond Chow Ming Chia, Pabitro Ray

A Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) method based on a closed-loop control system is proposed to track fast variations of the Brillouin frequency shift along the sensing fiber. Whilst the method eliminates the gain spectral scanning, the exact ...

Distributed Modifier-Adaptation Schemes for the Real-Time Optimization of Interconnected Systems in the Presence of Structural Plant-Model Mismatch

Dominique Bonvin, René Uwe Schneider, Predrag Milosavljevic

The desire to operate chemical processes in a safe and economically optimal way has motivated the development of so-called real-time optimization (RTO) methods [1]. For continuous processes, these methods aim to compute safe and optimal steady-state set ...
