Nonlinear Robust Optimization for Planning and Control

This paper presents a novel robust trajectory optimization method for constrained nonlinear dynamical systems subject to unknown bounded disturbances. In particular, we seek optimal control policies that remain robustly feasible with respect to all possible realizations of the disturbances within prescribed uncertainty sets. To address this problem, we introduce a bi-level optimization algorithm. The outer level employs a trust-region successive convexification approach which relies on linearizing the nonlinear dynamics and robust constraints. The inner level involves solving the resulting linearized robust optimization problems, for which we derive tractable convex reformulations and present an Augmented Lagrangian method for efficiently solving them. To further enhance the robustness of our methodology on nonlinear systems, we also illustrate that potential linearization errors can be effectively modeled as unknown disturbances as well. Simulation results verify the applicability of our approach in controlling nonlinear systems in a robust manner under unknown disturbances. The promise of effectively handling approximation errors in such successive linearization schemes from a robust optimization perspective is also highlighted.
