Abstract

En 中文
An important issue in model-based control design is that an accurate dynamic model of the system is generally nonlinear, complex, and costly to obtain. This limits achievable control performance in practice. Gaussian Process (GP) based estimation of system models is an effective tool to learn unknown dynamics directly from input/output data. However, conventional GP-based control methods often ignore the computational cost associated with accumulating data during the operation of the system and how to handle forgetting in continuous adaption. In this paper, we present a novel Dual Gaussian Process (DGP) based Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy that enables efficient use of online learning based predictive control without the danger of catastrophic forgetting. The bio-inspired DGP structure is a combination of a long-term GP and a short-term GP, where the long-term GP is used to keep the learnt knowledge in memory and the short-term GP is employed to rapidly compensate unknown dynamics during online operation. A novel recursive online update strategy for the shortterm GP is proposed to successively improve the learnt model during online operation without a dictionaryupdate and re-computation of the Gram matrix at each time step. Effectiveness of the proposed strategy is demonstrated via numerical simulations. (c) 2025 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
