• Abstract: Model Predictive Control (MPC) is attracting tremendous attention in the autonomous driving task as a powerful control technique. The success of an MPC controller strongly depends on an accurate internal dynamics model. However, the static parameters, usually learned by system identification, often fail to adapt to both internal and external perturbations in real-world scenarios. In this paper, we firstly (1) reformulate the problem as a Partially Observed Markov Decision Process (POMDP) that absorbs the uncertainties into observations and maintains Markov property into hidden states; and (2) learn a recurrent policy continually adapting the parameters of the dynamics model via Recurrent Reinforcement Learning (RRL) for optimal and adaptive control; and (3) finally evaluate the proposed algorithm (referred as $\textit{MPC-RRL}$) in CARLA simulator and leading to robust behaviours under a wide range of perturbations.

  We propose a novel framework, Neural Internal Model Control, which integrates model-based control with RL-based control to enhance robustness. Our framework streamlines the predictive model by applying Newton-Euler equations for rigid-body dynamics, eliminating the need to capture complex high-dimensional nonlinearities. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework on both quadrotors and quadrupedal robots, achieving superior performance compared to state-of-the-art methods.

  This paper presents a novel approach, merging the Maximum Entropy Deep Reinforcement Learning framework with a classic model-based control architecture, to formulate an adaptive controller. Within this framework, we introduce a Sim-to-Real transfer strategy comprising the following components: a bio-inspired experience replay mechanism, an enhanced domain randomisation technique, and an evaluation protocol executed on a physical platform. Our experimental assessments demonstrate that this method effectively learns proficient policies from suboptimal simulated models of the AUV, resulting in control performance 3 times higher when transferred to a real-world vehicle.

  When transferring a control policy from simulation to a physical system, the policy needs to be robust to variations in the dynamics to perform well. We present Robust Fitted Value Iteration, which uses dynamic programming to compute the optimal value function on the compact state domain. We show that robust value is more robust compared to deep reinforcement learning algorithm and the non-robust version of the algorithm.
