让神经网络控制器在线更新时仍保持系统稳定,避免失控风险。

Stability-Preserving Online Adaptation of Neural Closed-loop Maps

  • 用有界ℓ_p增益的因果算子建模控制器,确保可安全更新
  • 提出定时和状态触发两种更新机制,支持任意次数更新后仍稳定
  • 适合需动态调整的复杂非线性控制系统,如机器人、自动驾驶

现代控制任务日益复杂,要求控制器能随目标和扰动变化在线响应,同时保证闭环稳定性。现有基于时不变循环神经网络控制器的方法虽能保持稳定,但缺乏在运行中更新的合理机制。更重要的是,从一个稳定策略切换到另一个可能引发闭环失稳。本文提出一种稳定性保持的在线更新机制:将每个控制器建模为具有有界ℓ_p增益的因果算子,并推导出可在任意次数更新后仍保证闭环ℓ_p稳定的增益条件。由此得到两种实用更新方案——时间调度式与状态触发式。分析进一步表明,稳定性可独立于控制器最优性,允许使用近似或提前停止的合成方法。在具有时变目标和扰动的非线性系统上验证了该方法,性能持续优于静态及朴素在线基线,且始终保障稳定性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The growing complexity of modern control tasks calls for controllers that can react online as objectives and disturbances change, while preserving closed-loop stability. Recent approaches for improving the performance of nonlinear systems while preserving closed-loop stability rely on time-invariant recurrent neural-network controllers, but offer no principled way to update the controller during operation. Most importantly, switching from one stabilizing policy to another can itself destabilize the closed-loop. We address this problem by introducing a stability-preserving update mechanism for nonlinear, neural-network-based controllers. Each controller is modeled as a causal operator with bounded $\ell_p$-gain, and we derive gain-based conditions under which the controller may be updated online. These conditions yield two practical update schemes, time-scheduled and state-triggered, that guarantee the closed-loop remains $\ell_p$-stable after any number of updates. Our analysis further shows that stability is decoupled from controller optimality, allowing approximate or early-stopped controller synthesis. We demonstrate the approach on nonlinear systems with time-varying objectives and disturbances, and show consistent performance improvements over static and naive online baselines while guaranteeing stability.
