The paper introduces a Data-driven Hierarchical Control (DHC) structure to improve performance of systems operating under the effect of system and/or environment uncertainty. The proposed hierarchical approach consists of two parts: 1) A data-driven model identification component to learn a linear approximation between reference signals given to an existing lower-level controller and uncertain time-varying plant outputs. 2) A higher-level controller component that utilizes the identified approximation and wraps around the existing controller for the system to handle modeling errors and environment uncertainties during system deployment. We derive loose and tight bounds for the identified approximations sensitivity to noisy data. Further, we show that adding the higher-level controller maintains the original systems stability. A benefit of the proposed approach is that it requires only a small amount of observations on states and inputs, and it thus works online; that feature makes our approach appealing to robotics applications where real-time operation is critical. The efficacy of the DHC structure is demonstrated in simulation and is validated experimentally using aerial robots with approximately-known mass and moment of inertia parameters and that operate under the influence of ground effect.
Modern nonlinear control theory seeks to endow systems with properties such as stability and safety, and has been deployed successfully across various domains. Despite this success, model uncertainty remains a significant challenge in ensuring that m
Appropriate greenhouse temperature should be maintained to ensure crop production while minimizing energy consumption. Even though weather forecasts could provide a certain amount of information to improve control performance, it is not perfect and f
The closed-loop performance of model predictive controllers (MPCs) is sensitive to the choice of prediction models, controller formulation, and tuning parameters. However, prediction models are typically optimized for prediction accuracy instead of p
The cooperative control applied to vehicles allows the optimization of traffic on the roads. There are many aspects to consider in the case of the operation of autonomous vehicles on highways since there are different external parameters that can be
Energy savings from efficiency methods in individual residential buildings are measured in 10s of dollars, while the energy savings from such measures nationally would amount to 10s of billions of dollars, leading to the tragedy of the commons effect
