用信息论构建自适应控制器,让无人机实时调整飞行策略。

Information-Theoretic Framework for Self-Adapting Model Predictive Controllers

  • 引入信息数字孪生,量化输入、控制与行为间的比特级信息流。
  • 通过纠缠度量检测性能偏差,实现参数动态校准。
  • 无需依赖误差反馈,适合复杂动态环境下的自主系统。

模型预测控制(MPC)是无人飞行器(UAV)等自主系统的关键技术,可实现优化的运动规划。然而,传统MPC难以应对动态障碍物和系统动力学变化,缺乏自我监测与自适应优化机制。本文提出纠缠学习(EL),一种基于信息论的框架,通过信息数字孪生(IDT)提升MPC的自适应能力。IDT以比特为单位监控并量化MPC输入、控制动作与无人机行为之间的信息流。通过新提出的纠缠度量,跟踪这些依赖关系的变化,测量优化器输入、控制动作与实际无人机动力学间的互信息,从而深入理解三者关联。该机制能检测性能偏离,并生成实时自适应信号以重校正MPC参数,维持系统稳定。与依赖误差反馈的传统MPC不同,本方法采用双反馈机制,利用信息流实现对动态条件的主动适应。该框架可扩展且兼容现有基础设施,显著提升MPC在多样场景下的可靠性与鲁棒性,适用于所有需自适应性能的MPC应用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a vital technique for autonomous systems, like Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), enabling optimized motion planning. However, traditional MPC struggles to adapt to real-time changes such as dynamic obstacles and shifting system dynamics, lacking inherent mechanisms for self-monitoring and adaptive optimization. Here, we introduce Entanglement Learning (EL), an information-theoretic framework that enhances MPC adaptability through an Information Digital Twin (IDT). The IDT monitors and quantifies, in bits, the information flow between MPC inputs, control actions, and UAV behavior. By introducing new information-theoretic metrics we call entanglement metrics, it tracks variations in these dependencies. These metrics measure the mutual information between the optimizer's input, its control actions, and the resulting UAV dynamics, enabling a deeper understanding of their interrelationships. This allows the IDT to detect performance deviations and generate real-time adaptive signals to recalibrate MPC parameters, preserving stability. Unlike traditional MPC, which relies on error-based feedback, this dual-feedback approach leverages information flow for proactive adaptation to evolving conditions. Scalable and leveraging existing infrastructure, this framework improves MPC reliability and robustness across diverse scenarios, extending beyond UAV control to any MPC implementation requiring adaptive performance.
