• Title: Nonlinear Control Allocation: A Learning Based Approach
• Authors: Hafiz Zeeshan Iqbal Khan, Surrayya Mobeen, Jahanzeb Rajput, Jamshed Riaz,
• Abstract summary: Modern aircraft are designed with redundant control effectors to cater for fault tolerance and maneuverability requirements. This leads to aircraft being over-actuated and requires control allocation schemes to distribute the control commands among control effectors. Traditionally, optimization-based control allocation schemes are used; however, for nonlinear allocation problems, these methods require large computational resources. In this work, an artificial neural network (ANN) based nonlinear control allocation scheme is proposed.

• Abstract: Modern aircraft are designed with redundant control effectors to cater for fault tolerance and maneuverability requirements. This leads to aircraft being over-actuated and requires control allocation schemes to distribute the control commands among control effectors. Traditionally, optimization-based control allocation schemes are used; however, for nonlinear allocation problems, these methods require large computational resources. In this work, an artificial neural network (ANN) based nonlinear control allocation scheme is proposed. The proposed scheme is composed of learning the inverse of the control effectiveness map through ANN, and then implementing it as an allocator instead of solving an online optimization problem. Stability conditions are presented for closed-loop systems incorporating the allocator, and computational challenges are explored with piece-wise linear effectiveness functions and ANN-based allocators. To demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed scheme, it is compared with a standard quadratic programming-based method for control allocation.

  This paper addresses the problem of safety-critical control for non-affine control systems. It has been shown that optimizing quadratic costs subject to state and control constraints can be sub-optimally reduced to a sequence of quadratic programs (QPs) by using Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) We incorporate higher-order CBFs into neural ordinary differential equation-based learning models as differentiable CBFs to guarantee safety for non-affine control systems.

  Wireless networked control system (WNCS) connecting sensors, controllers, and actuators via wireless communications is a key enabling technology for highly scalable and low-cost deployment of control systems in the Industry 4.0 era.

We propose a novel deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based algorithm for controller and optimization utilizing both model-free and model-based data.
