• Abstract summary: We present a data-driven controller tuning approach, where the digital twin is used to generate input-output data and suitable controllers for several perturbations in its parameters. We learn the controller tuning rule that maps input-output data onto the controller parameters, based on artificially generated data from perturbed versions of the digital twin.

• Abstract: Many industrial processes require suitable controllers to meet their performance requirements. More often, a sophisticated digital twin is available, which is a highly complex model that is a virtual representation of a given physical process, whose parameters may not be properly tuned to capture the variations in the physical process. In this paper, we present a sim2real, direct data-driven controller tuning approach, where the digital twin is used to generate input-output data and suitable controllers for several perturbations in its parameters. State-of-the art neural-network architectures are then used to learn the controller tuning rule that maps input-output data onto the controller parameters, based on artificially generated data from perturbed versions of the digital twin. In this way, as far as we are aware, we tackle for the first time the problem of re-calibrating the controller by meta-learning the tuning rule directly from data, thus practically replacing the control engineer with a machine learning model. The benefits of this methodology are illustrated via numerical simulations for several choices of neural-network architectures.

  OminiControl is a framework that integrates image conditions into pre-trained Diffusion Transformer (DiT) models. At its core, OminiControl leverages a parameter reuse mechanism, enabling the DiT to encode image conditions using itself as a powerful backbone. OminiControl addresses a wide range of image conditioning tasks in a unified manner, including subject-driven generation and spatially-aligned conditions.
