Bayesian Optimization Parameter Tuning Framework for a Lyapunov Based Path Following Controller
- 将闭环系统视为黑箱,用高斯过程代理模型选择控制器增益。
- 仅32次试验(含15次预热)即实现高性能参数配置。
- 适合需要低成本试错的复杂非线性控制器实机调参场景。
真实实验中的参数调优受限于硬件可用的评估预算。本文研究的基于李雅普诺夫的路径跟踪控制器代表了典型的非线性几何控制器,其中多个增益通过耦合的非线性项影响系统动态,这种相互依赖性使得手动调参效率低下,且在合理试验次数内难以获得满意性能。为此,我们提出一种贝叶斯优化(BO)框架,将闭环系统视为黑箱,利用高斯过程代理模型选择控制器增益。BO具备无模型探索、不确定性量化和数据高效搜索能力,特别适合每次评估成本较高的调优任务。该框架在本田AI-Formula三轮机器人上实现,并在固定测试赛道上通过重复全圈实验进行评估。结果表明,仅需32次试验(包括15次暖启动初始评估),即可显著提升控制器性能,证明了其在真实环境下高效定位参数空间高绩效区域的能力。这些发现表明,BO为实际机器人平台上的非线性路径跟踪控制器提供了一种实用、可靠且数据高效的调参方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Parameter tuning in real-world experiments is constrained by the limited evaluation budget available on hardware. The path-following controller studied in this paper reflects a typical situation in nonlinear geometric controller, where multiple gains influence the dynamics through coupled nonlinear terms. Such interdependence makes manual tuning inefficient and unlikely to yield satisfactory performance within a practical number of trials. To address this challenge, we propose a Bayesian optimization (BO) framework that treats the closed-loop system as a black box and selects controller gains using a Gaussian-process surrogate. BO offers model-free exploration, quantified uncertainty, and data-efficient search, making it well suited for tuning tasks where each evaluation is costly. The framework is implemented on Honda's AI-Formula three-wheeled robot and assessed through repeated full-lap experiments on a fixed test track. The results show that BO improves controller performance within 32 trials, including 15 warm-start initial evaluations, indicating that it can efficiently locate high-performing regions of the parameter space under real-world conditions. These findings demonstrate that BO provides a practical, reliable, and data-efficient tuning approach for nonlinear path-following controllers on real robotic platforms.
