Real-time optimal control with shallow recurrent decoder networks
Controlling dynamical systems in real-time across multiple scenarios is critical to enabling adaptive control strategies, ensuring stability and efficiency. However, to tailor control actions in response to varying scenarios, traditional optimal control problems typically require several system simulations, which are often computationally demanding due to the high-dimensionality of the underlying spatio-temporal dynamics. In this work, we exploit SHallow REcurrent Decoder networks-based Reduced Order Modeling (SHRED-ROM) to synthesize a real-time closed-loop controller for high-dimensional and
Physics-enhanced reinforcement learning for real-time optimal control of dynamical systems
Reinforcement learning (RL) has recently emerged as a promising feedback control strategy for nonlinear and complex dynamical systems. However, RL algorithms are sample inefficient and require a large number of interaction with the environment to synthesize optimal control strategies. Consequently, applications of RL are typically limited to sparse sensors and actuators due to the curse of dimensionality entailed by the exploration-exploitation dilemma in high-dimensional spaces. In this work, we bridge RL and traditional optimal control for dynamical system with a novel Physics-EnhAnced Reinf
