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 performance, and MPC tuning is typically done manually to satisfy (probabilistic) constraints. In this work, we demonstrate a general approach for automating the tuning of MPC under uncertainty. In particular, we formulate the automated tuning problem as a constrained black-box optimization problem that can be tackled with derivative-free optimization. We rely on a constrained variant of Bayesian optimization (BO) to solve the MPC tuning problem that can directly handle noisy and expensive-to-evaluate functions. The benefits of the proposed automated tuning approach are demonstrated on a benchmark continuously stirred tank reactor example.

Systematic design and verification of advanced control strategies for complex systems under uncertainty largely remains an open problem. Despite the promise of blackbox optimization methods for automated controller tuning, they generally lack formal
guarantees on the solution quality, which is especially important in the control of safety-critical systems. This paper focuses on obtaining closed-loop performance guarantees for automated controller tuning, which can be formulated as a black-box optimization problem under uncertainty. We use recent advances in non-convex scenario theory to provide a distribution-free bound on the probability of the closed-loop performance measures. To mitigate the computational complexity of the data-driven scenario optimization method, we restrict ourselves to a discrete set of candidate tuning parameters. We propose to generate these candidates using constrained Bayesian optimization run multiple times from different random seed points. We apply the proposed method for tuning an economic nonlinear model predictive controller for a semibatch reactor modeled by seven highly nonlinear differential equations.
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.
We present a data-driven optimization framework that aims to address online adaptation of the flight path shape for an airborne wind energy system (AWE) that follows a repetitive path to generate power. Specifically, Bayesian optimization, which is a
data-driven algorithm for finding the optimum of an unknown objective function, is utilized to solve the waypoint adaptation. To form a computationally efficient optimization framework, we describe each figure-$8$ flight via a compact set of parameters, termed as basis parameters. We model the underlying objective function by a Gaussian Process (GP). Bayesian optimization utilizes the predictive uncertainty information from the GP to determine the best subsequent basis parameters. Once a path is generated using Bayesian optimization, a path following mechanism is used to track the generated figure-$8$ flight. The proposed framework is validated on a simplified $2$-dimensional model that mimics the key behaviors of a $3$-dimensional AWE system. We demonstrate the capability of the proposed framework in a simulation environment for a simplified $2$-dimensional AWE system model.
In this research, a new data mining-based design approach has been developed for designing complex mechanical systems such as a crashworthy passenger car with uncertainty modeling. The method allows exploring the big crash simulation dataset to desig
n the vehicle at multi-levels in a top-down manner (main energy absorbing system, components, and geometric features) and derive design rules based on the whole vehicle body safety requirements to make decisions towards the component and sub-component level design. Full vehicle and component simulation datasets are mined to build decision trees, where the interrelationship among parameters can be revealed and the design rules are derived to produce designs with good performance. This method has been extended by accounting for the uncertainty in the design variables. A new decision tree algorithm for uncertain data (DTUD) is developed to produce the desired designs and evaluate the design performance variations due to the uncertainty in design variables. The framework of this method is implemented by combining the design of experiments (DOE) and crash finite element analysis (FEA) and then demonstrated by designing a passenger car subject to front impact. The results show that the new methodology could achieve the design objectives efficiently and effectively. By applying the new method, the reliability of the final designs is also increased greatly. This approach has the potential to be applied as a general design methodology for a wide range of complex structures and mechanical systems.
We pose the aggregators problem as a bilevel model, where the upper level minimizes the total operation costs of the fleet of EVs, while each lower level minimizes the energy available to each vehicle for transportation given a certain charging plan.
Thanks to the totally unimodular character of the constraint matrix in the lower-level problems, the model can be mathematically recast as a computationally efficient mixed-integer program that delivers charging schedules that are robust against the uncertain availability of the EVs. Finally, we use synthetic data from the National Household Travel Survey 2017 to analyze the behavior of the EV aggregator from both economic and technical viewpoints and compare it with the results from a deterministic approach.
