LLMs-guided adaptive compensator: Bringing Adaptivity to Automatic Control Systems with Large Language Models

  • 大模型根据系统偏差生成补偿器,实现自适应控制
  • 在仿真与真实机器人上均优于传统方法,推理复杂度更低
  • 适合需要快速部署的自动化控制场景,如机器人调控

随着代码生成、推理和问题求解能力的快速进步,大型语言模型(LLMs)在机器人领域应用日益广泛。现有工作多聚焦于高层任务分解,少数研究探索了LLMs在反馈控制器设计中的应用,但局限于过于简化的系统、固定结构增益调节,且缺乏真实世界验证。为进一步探究LLMs在自动控制中的作用,本文聚焦自适应控制这一关键子领域。受模型参考自适应控制(MRAC)框架启发,提出一种LLM引导的自适应补偿器框架,避免从零设计控制器。该框架通过提示LLM识别未知系统与参考系统间的差异,进而设计补偿器使未知系统的响应逼近参考系统,从而实现自适应。实验在软体与人形机器人上对比五种方法:LLM引导自适应补偿器、LLM引导自适应控制器、间接自适应控制、基于学习的自适应控制及MRAC,涵盖仿真与真实环境。结果表明,该方法显著优于传统自适应控制器,且相比LLM引导自适应控制器大幅降低推理复杂度。李雅普诺夫分析与推理路径检查显示,该方法将数学推导转化为可解释的推理任务,具备更强的结构性、泛化性、自适应性与鲁棒性。本研究为LLMs在自动控制领域的应用开辟新方向,相较于视觉-语言模型更具可部署性与实用性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

With rapid advances in code generation, reasoning, and problem-solving, Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly applied in robotics. Most existing work focuses on high-level tasks such as task decomposition. A few studies have explored the use of LLMs in feedback controller design; however, these efforts are restricted to overly simplified systems, fixed-structure gain tuning, and lack real-world validation. To further investigate LLMs in automatic control, this work targets a key subfield: adaptive control. Inspired by the framework of model reference adaptive control (MRAC), we propose an LLM-guided adaptive compensator framework that avoids designing controllers from scratch. Instead, the LLMs are prompted using the discrepancies between an unknown system and a reference system to design a compensator that aligns the response of the unknown system with that of the reference, thereby achieving adaptivity. Experiments evaluate five methods: LLM-guided adaptive compensator, LLM-guided adaptive controller, indirect adaptive control, learning-based adaptive control, and MRAC, on soft and humanoid robots in both simulated and real-world environments. Results show that the LLM-guided adaptive compensator outperforms traditional adaptive controllers and significantly reduces reasoning complexity compared to the LLM-guided adaptive controller. The Lyapunov-based analysis and reasoning-path inspection demonstrate that the LLM-guided adaptive compensator enables a more structured design process by transforming mathematical derivation into a reasoning task, while exhibiting strong generalizability, adaptability, and robustness. This study opens a new direction for applying LLMs in the field of automatic control, offering greater deployability and practicality compared to vision-language models.
