• Abstract: This brief addresses the design of a Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) strategy for exponentially incremental Input-to-State Stable (ISS) systems. In particular, a novel formulation is devised, which does not necessitate the onerous computation of terminal ingredients, but rather relies on the explicit definition of a minimum prediction horizon ensuring closed-loop stability. The designed methodology is particularly suited for the control of systems learned by Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), which are known for their enhanced modeling capabilities and for which the incremental ISS properties can be studied thanks to simple algebraic conditions. The approach is applied to Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) networks, providing also a method for the design of a tailored state observer with convergence guarantees. The resulting control architecture is tested on a benchmark system, demonstrating its good control performances and efficient applicability.

  We assess the ability of RNN variants to both learn the dynamics of benchmark control systems and serve as surrogate models for model predictive control (MPC) We find that echo state networks (ESNs) have a variety of benefits over competing architectures, namely reductions in computational complexity, longer valid prediction times, and reductions in cost of the MPC objective function.

  Learning-based neural network (NN) control policies have shown impressive empirical performance in a wide range of tasks in robotics and control. Lyapunov stability guarantees over the region-of-attraction (ROA) for NN controllers with nonlinear dynamical systems are challenging to obtain. We demonstrate a new framework for learning NN controllers together with Lyapunov certificates using fast empirical falsification and strategic regularizations.

  We consider the problem of designing a machine learning-based model of an unknown dynamical system from a finite number of (state-input)-successor state data points. We adopt a neural network (NN) architecture that, once suitably trained, yields a hybrid system with continuous piecewise-affine dynamics. We show that a careful choice of our NN's weights produces a hybrid system model with structural properties that are highly favorable when used as part of a finite horizon optimal control problem.

  A common problem affecting neural network (NN) approximations of model predictive control (MPC) policies is the lack of analytical tools to assess the stability of the closed-loop system under the action of the NN-based controller. We present a general procedure to quantify the performance of such a controller, or to design minimum complexity NNs that preserve the desirable properties of a given MPC scheme.
