Control

We focus on improving data-driven control using data-driven learning. We develop reinforcement learning techniques that leverage knowledge of the physics of the system to solve the two-point boundary optimal control problem of linear time-varying systems with unknown model dynamics. We also extend learning from the control of low-order linear systems to large-scale complex nonlinear systems.
