Abstract

A dynamically reoptimized single network adaptive critic (SNAC) aided dynamic inversion controller is presented in this paper, where an offline trained SNAC op-timal controller is modified with the help of another neural network trained online so as to dynamically re-optimize it for the real plant. This is done by updating the plant model in real-time with the help of yet another neural network trained online. The resulting optimal controller is then mapped to a dynamic inversion controller structure online. As a result, it brings in two major advantages, namely (i) a stabi-lizing closed form expression of the controller and (ii) easy scalability to command tracking application even without apriori knowledge of the reference command. Ef-fectiveness of the proposed controller is demonstrated by applying it for attitude control and trajectory tracking of a micro-quadrotor, which is a challenging prob-lem due to its small size, negligible aerodynamic damping as well as strong coupling in pitch-yaw-roll channels. It has been demonstrated from six degree-of-freedom simulations that the controller is capable of achieving the intended objective and has good robustness as well.
