Innovative automated control systems: Control-theoretic approach for fast online reinforcement learning

Innovative automated control systems: Control-theoretic approach for fast online reinforcement learning

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is an effective way of designing model-free linear quadratic regulators (LQRs) for linear time-invariant networks with unknown state-space models. RL has wide ranging applications including industrial automation, self-driving automobiles, power grid systems, and even forecasting stock prices for financial markets.

Computing in close proximity: Edge intelligence with deep reinforcement learning

Mobile edge computing (MEC) is a promising paradigm to improve the quality of computation experience for mobile devices by providing computing capabilities in close proximity. MEC finds applications in homes, factories, and transport modes including trains and airplanes. However, the design of computation offloading policies for an MEC system, specifically, the decision of executing a computation task at the mobile device or at the remote MEC server, should adapt to the network randomness and uncertainties.

Innovative control theory: Bridging the gap between research on control, reinforcement learning, and power systems

Tomonori Sadamoto

Reinforcement learning is a key methodology for controlling large-scale complex systems such as power grids and transportation networks. However, the major contemporary learning theories currently used are unsuitable for real-time control because designers must repeat trials just for acquiring data. Instead, it is necessary to develop a methodology that is capable of real-time decision making.
