The problem of datadriven recursive computation of receding horizon LQR control through a randomized combination of online/current and historical/recorded data, is considered. It is assumed that large amounts of historical input-output data from a system, which is similar but not identical to the current system under consideration, is available. This (possibly large) data set is compressed through a novel randomized subspace algorithm to directly synthesize an initial solution of the standard LQR problem, which however is suboptimal due to the inaccuracy of the historical model. The first instance of this input is used to actuate the current system and the corresponding instantaneous output is used to iteratively resolve the LQR problem through a computationally inexpensive randomized rank-one update of the old compressed data. The first instance of the re-computed input is applied to the system at the next instant, output recorded and the entire procedure is repeated at each subsequent instant. As more current data becomes available, the algorithm learns automatically from the new data while simultaneously controlling the system in near optimal manner. The proposed algorithm is computationally inexpensive due to the initial and repeated compression of old and newly available data. Moreover, the simultaneous learning and control makes this algorithm particularly suited for adapting to unknown, poorly modeled and time varying systems without any explicit exploration stage. Simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm vs popular exploration/exploitation approaches to LQR control.

We consider risk-sensitive Markov decision processes (MDPs), where the MDP model is influenced by a parameter which takes values in a compact metric space. These situations arise when the underlying dynamics of the system depend on parameters that drifts over time. For example, mass of a vehicle depends on the number of passengers in the vehicle, which may change from one trip to another. Similarly, the energy demand of a building depends on the local weather, which changes every hour of the day. We identify sufficient conditions under which small perturbations in the model parameters lead to small changes in the optimal value function and optimal policy. This is achieved by establishing the continuity of the value function with respect to the parameters. A direct consequence of this result is that an optimal policy under a specific parameter remains near-optimal if the parameter is perturbed slightly. Implications of the results for data-driven decision-making, decision-making with preference uncertainty, and systems with changing noise distributions are discussed.

Multi-robot systems have gained increasing interest across various fields such as medicine, environmental monitoring, and more. Despite the evident advantages, the coordination of the swarm arises significant challenges for human operators, particularly concerning the cognitive burden needed for efficiently controlling the robots. In this study, we present a novel approach for enabling a human operator to effectively control the motion of multiple robots. Leveraging a shared controldata-driven approach, we enable a single user to control the 9 degrees of freedom related to the pose and shape of a swarm. Our methodology was evaluated through an experimental campaign conducted in simulated 3D environments featuring a narrow cylindrical path, which could represent, e.g., blood vessels, industrial pipes. Subjective measures of cognitive load were assessed using a post-experiment questionnaire, comparing different levels of autonomy of the system. Results show substantial reductions in operator cognitive load when compared to conventional teleoperation techniques, accompanied by enhancements in task performance, including reduced completion times and fewer instances of contact with obstacles. This research underscores the efficacy of our approach in enhancing human-robot interaction and improving operational efficiency in multi-robot systems.

This article proposes a non-parametric representation for a class of high-order unknown nonlinear systems comprising polynomial functions. A data-driven approach is introduced that uses pure data for future simulation based on any given input set. We also consider a comprehensive class of nonlinear autoregressive exogenous (NARX) models which covers other existing representations as special cases. Then, a non-parametric representation of this class of NARX models are investigated by leveraging the idea of re-expressing the system in the context of a non-minimal state-space reformulation. A data-driven predictive control (DDPC) approach is as a result introduced that uses the fundamental lemma for future prediction during the open-loop optimization. The recursive feasibility analysis and the proof of stability are also given. Finally, the simulation results quantify the effectiveness of the proposed approach in different scenarios.

The industrial sector is evolving towards increased customization, diminishing batch sizes, and shorter product lifecycles, affecting intralogistics, which faces challenges in managing an expanding variety of parts and variants. This diversification leads to a decline in efficiency owing to the complexity in pick and stow operations, as traditional systems, digital solutions, and optimization methods mainly rely on historical data without incorporating near-real-time process information. Conventional approaches separate pick and stow operations in both process and workforce, culminating in extended process durations. Instead, data-driven AI-based methods offer a solution by clustering and combining pick and stow operations into optimized bundles, considering travel distance and time. The research employs AI algorithms to streamline picking and stowing, aiming to enhance logistics performance by reducing travel distance and time. Due to the absence of real data, a simulation-based procedure to generate synthetic test and training data is adopted. The real-world logistics system of the learning factory Werk150 is modeled in AnyLogic simulation software to carry out picking and stowing in a 3D warehouse layout. This database is leveraged to train an unsupervised machine learning model using the data analytics software TensorFlow by applying algorithms focused on clustering and combination. A comparative study of these algorithms is conducted to pinpoint optimal strategies for improving logistics performance. Future research will target this methodology, which will be enriched by experimental tests in Werk150 involving near-real-time data, practical investigations, and the use of real data to conclude with an analysis to validate the optimization strategies' effectiveness.
