• Abstract summary: This paper presents a generalizable methodology for data-driven identification of nonlinear dynamics that bounds the model error. We construct a Koopman operator-based linear representation and utilize Taylor series accuracy analysis to derive an error bound. When combined with control, the Koopman representation of the nonlinear system has marginally better performance than competing nonlinear modeling methods.

• Abstract: This paper presents a generalizable methodology for data-driven identification of nonlinear dynamics that bounds the model error in terms of the prediction horizon and the magnitude of the derivatives of the system states. Using higher-order derivatives of general nonlinear dynamics that need not be known, we construct a Koopman operator-based linear representation and utilize Taylor series accuracy analysis to derive an error bound. The resulting error formula is used to choose the order of derivatives in the basis functions and obtain a data-driven Koopman model using a closed-form expression that can be computed in real time. Using the inverted pendulum system, we illustrate the robustness of the error bounds given noisy measurements of unknown dynamics, where the derivatives are estimated numerically. When combined with control, the Koopman representation of the nonlinear system has marginally better performance than competing nonlinear modeling methods, such as SINDy and NARX. In addition, as a linear model, the Koopman approach lends itself readily to efficient control design tools, such as LQR, whereas the other modeling approaches require nonlinear control methods. The efficacy of the approach is further demonstrated with simulation and experimental results on the control of a tail-actuated robotic fish. Experimental results show that the proposed data-driven control approach outperforms a tuned PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) controller and that updating the data-driven model online significantly improves performance in the presence of unmodeled fluid disturbance.

  We present an Equation/Variable free machine learning (EVFML) framework for the control of the collective dynamics of complex/multiscale systems. The proposed implementation consists of three steps: (A) from high-dimensional agent-based simulations, machine learning (in particular, non-linear manifold learning (DMs)) We exploit the Equation-free approach to perform numerical bifurcation analysis of the emergent dynamics. We design data-driven embedded wash-out controllers that drive the agent-based simulators to their intrinsic, imprecisely known, emergent open-loop unstable steady-states.
