An ILC-Based Adaptive Control for General Stochastic Systems With Strictly Decreasing Entropy
To measure the randomness of closed-loop systems, existing stochastic control methods use variance, which inherently assumes that the random variables are Gaussian, conflicting with most practical situations. In this work, entropy was used as a general measure for randomness and a new control strategy developed that minimises entropy for general nonlinear and non-Gaussian unknown stochastic systems. This work has been taken up by several research groups e.g. in Greece (DOI: 10.1109/TNN.2010.2076302) in the design of a neuro-adaptive force/position control, and in China (DOI:10.3390/e15010032) on stochastic controller design.
