Meta-Reinforcement Learning for Adaptive Control of Second Order Systems

no code implementations19 Sep 2022 Daniel G. McClement, Nathan P. Lawrence, Michael G. Forbes, Philip D. Loewen, Johan U. Backström, R. Bhushan Gopaluni

In this work, we briefly reintroduce our methodology and demonstrate how it can be extended to proportional-integral-derivative controllers and second order systems.

Meta-Reinforcement Learning for the Tuning of PI Controllers: An Offline Approach

no code implementations17 Mar 2022 Daniel G. McClement, Nathan P. Lawrence, Johan U. Backstrom, Philip D. Loewen, Michael G. Forbes, R. Bhushan Gopaluni

In tests reported here, the meta-RL agent was trained entirely offline on first order plus time delay systems, and produced excellent results on novel systems drawn from the same distribution of process dynamics used for training.

Deep Reinforcement Learning with Shallow Controllers: An Experimental Application to PID Tuning

no code implementations13 Nov 2021 Nathan P. Lawrence, Michael G. Forbes, Philip D. Loewen, Daniel G. McClement, Johan U. Backstrom, R. Bhushan Gopaluni

In addition to its simplicity, this approach has several appealing features: No additional hardware needs to be added to the control system, since a PID controller can easily be implemented through a standard programmable logic controller; the control law can easily be initialized in a "safe'' region of the parameter space; and the final product -- a well-tuned PID controller -- has a form that practitioners can reason about and deploy with confidence.

A Meta-Reinforcement Learning Approach to Process Control

no code implementations25 Mar 2021 Daniel G. McClement, Nathan P. Lawrence, Philip D. Loewen, Michael G. Forbes, Johan U. Backström, R. Bhushan Gopaluni

Meta-learning is appealing for process control applications because the perturbations to a process required to train an AI controller can be costly and unsafe.
