Online ResNet-Based Adaptive Control for Nonlinear Target Tracking

摘要

A generalized ResNet architecture for adaptive control of nonlinear systems with black box uncertainties is developed. The approach overcomes limitations in existing methods by incorporating pre-activation shortcut connections and a zeroth layer block that accommodates different input-output dimensions. The developed Lyapunov-based adaptation law establishes exponential convergence to a neighborhood of the target state despite unknown dynamics and disturbances. Furthermore, the theoretical results are validated through a comparative experiment.
