• Abstract summary: We show an approach for online automatic tuning of an MPC controller with an example application to an ecological cruise control system. We solve the global fuel consumption minimization problem offline using dynamic programming and find the corresponding MPC cost function. A neural network fitted to these offline results is used to generate the desired MPC cost function weight during online operation.

• Abstract: Model predictive control (MPC) is a powerful tool for planning and controlling dynamical systems due to its capacity for handling constraints and taking advantage of preview information. Nevertheless, MPC performance is highly dependent on the choice of cost function tuning parameters. In this work, we demonstrate an approach for online automatic tuning of an MPC controller with an example application to an ecological cruise control system that saves fuel by using a preview of road grade. We solve the global fuel consumption minimization problem offline using dynamic programming and find the corresponding MPC cost function by solving the inverse optimization problem. A neural network fitted to these offline results is used to generate the desired MPC cost function weight during online operation. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified in simulation for different road geometries.

  We study the problem of offline pre-training and online fine-tuning for reinforcement learning from high-dimensional observations. Existing model-based offline RL methods are not suitable for offline-to-online fine-tuning in high-dimensional domains. We propose an on-policy model-based method that can efficiently reuse prior data through model-based value expansion and policy regularization.
