Universal Adaptive Control of Nonlinear Systems

원문 초록

This work develops a new direct adaptive control framework that extends the certainty equivalence principle to general nonlinear systems with unmatched model uncertainties. The approach adjusts the rate of adaptation online to eliminate the effects of parameter estimation transients on closed-loop stability. The method can be immediately combined with a previously designed or learned feedback policy if a corresponding model-parameterized Lyapunov function or contraction metric is known. Simulation results of various nonlinear systems with unmatched uncertainties demonstrates the approach.
