• Title: Robust Model-Free Learning and Control without Prior Knowledge
• Authors: Dimitar Ho and John Doyle
• Abstract summary: We present a model-free control algorithm that robustly learn and stabilize an unknown discrete-time linear system. The controller does not require any prior knowledge of the system dynamics, disturbances, or noise. We will conclude with simulation results that show that despite the generality and simplicity, the controller demonstrates good closed-loop performance.

• Abstract: We present a simple model-free control algorithm that is able to robustly learn and stabilize an unknown discrete-time linear system with full control and state feedback subject to arbitrary bounded disturbance and noise sequences. The controller does not require any prior knowledge of the system dynamics, disturbances, or noise, yet it can guarantee robust stability and provides asymptotic and worst-case bounds on the state and input trajectories. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first model-free algorithm that comes with such robust stability guarantees without the need to make any prior assumptions about the system. We would like to highlight the new convex geometry-based approach taken towards robust stability analysis which served as a key enabler in our results. We will conclude with simulation results that show that despite the generality and simplicity, the controller demonstrates good closed-loop performance.
