Inverse Learning-Based Output Feedback Control of Nonlinear Systems with Verifiable Guarantees

摘要

In this paper, we present a data-driven output feedback controller for nonlinear systems that achieves practical output regulation, using noise-free input/output measurement data. The proposed controller is based on (i) an inverse model of the system identified via kernel interpolation, which maps a desired output and the current state to the corresponding desired control input; and (ii) a data-driven reference selection framework that actively chooses a suitable desired output from the dataset which has been used for the identification. We establish a verifiable sufficient condition on the dataset under which the proposed controller guarantees practical output regulation. Numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller, with additional evaluations in the presence of output measurement noise to assess its robustness empirically.
