A Set-Based Approach for Robust Control Co-Design (2310.11658v1)

Published 18 Oct 2023 in eess.SY and cs.SY

Abstract: Control Co-Design (CCD) considers the coupled effects of both the plant and control parameters to optimize a system's closed-loop transient performance during the design stage. This paper presents a new method for CCD with guarantees on robustness to nondeterministic disturbances for all initial conditions within a specified region of operation. This is accomplished by calculating the reachable sets of a candidate closed-loop system directly within the optimization problem. Using this approach, the plant and control parameters are simultaneously chosen to shape these reachable sets to be robustly positive invariant and thus safe for all time. Compared to conventional approaches that perform the optimization for a single initial condition and an a priori chosen sequence of disturbances, the proposed set-based method avoids sensitivity to variations in the assumed design scenario. As a representative example, the proposed method is applied to an active suspension system.
