LQR Control with Sparse Adversarial Disturbances

2022-09-21 · Samuel Pfrommer, Somayeh Sojoudi

Recent developments in cyber-physical systems and event-triggered control have led to an increased interest in the impact of sparse disturbances on dynamical processes. We study Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control under sparse disturbances by analyzing three distinct policies: the blind online policy, the disturbance-aware policy, and the optimal offline policy. We derive the two-dimensional recurrence structure of the optimal disturbance-aware policy, under the assumption that the controller has information about future disturbance values with only a probabilistic model of their locations in time. Under mild conditions, we show that the disturbance-aware policy converges to the blind online policy if the number of disturbances grows sublinearly in the time horizon. Finally, we provide a finite-horizon regret bound between the blind online policy and optimal offline policy, which is proven to be quadratic in the number of disturbances and in their magnitude. This provides a useful characterization of the suboptimality of a standard LQR controller when confronted with unexpected sparse perturbations.

Online Control with Adversarial Disturbances

2019-02-23 · Naman Agarwal, Brian Bullins, Elad Hazan, Sham M. Kakade 외

We study the control of a linear dynamical system with adversarial disturbances (as opposed to statistical noise). The objective we consider is one of regret: we desire an online control procedure that can do nearly as w…

Multi-agent control problems involving a large number of agents with competing and time-varying objectives are increasingly prevalent in applications across robotics, economics, and energy systems. In this paper, we stud…

Safety-Critical Online Control with Adversarial Disturbances

2020-09-20 · Bhaskar Ramasubramanian, Baicen Xiao, Linda Bushnell, Radha Poovendran

This paper studies the control of safety-critical dynamical systems in the presence of adversarial disturbances. We seek to synthesize state-feedback controllers to minimize a cost incurred due to the disturbance, while …

2021-08-19 · Mohsen Barforooshan, Masaaki Nagahara, Jan Ostergaard

This paper investigates closed-loop stability of a linear discrete-time plant subject to bounded disturbances when controlled according to packetized predictive control (PPC) policies. In the considered feedback loop, th…

Generating Adversarial Disturbances for Controller Verification

2020-12-12 · Udaya Ghai, David Snyder, Anirudha Majumdar, Elad Hazan

We consider the problem of generating maximally adversarial disturbances for a given controller assuming only blackbox access to it. We propose an online learning approach to this problem that \emph{adaptively} generates…
