Sensing-Constrained LQG Control

چکیده
Linear-Quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) control is concerned with the design of an optimal controller and estimator for linear Gaussian systems with imperfect state information. Standard LQG assumes the set of sensor measurements, to be fed to the estimator, to be given. However, in many problems, arising in networked systems and robotics, one may not be able to use all the available sensors, due to power or payload constraints, or may be interested in using the smallest subset of sensors that guarantees the attainment of a desired control goal. In this paper, we introduce the sensing-constrained LQG control problem, in which one has to jointly design sensing, estimation, and control, under given constraints on the resources spent for sensing. We focus on the realistic case in which the sensing strategy has to be selected among a finite set of possible sensing modalities. While the computation of the optimal sensing strategy is intractable, we present the first scalable algorithm that computes a nearoptimal sensing strategy with provable sub-optimality guarantees. To this end, we show that a separation principle holds, which allows the design of sensing, estimation, and control policies in isolation. We conclude the paper by discussing two applications of sensing-constrained LQG control, namely, sensing-constrained formation control and resource-constrained robot navigation.

متن کاملLinearly Constrained Lq and Lqg Optimal Control
It has recently been shown that the logarithmic barrier method for solving nite-dimensional, linearly constrained quadratic optimization problems can be extended to an innnite-dimensional setting with complexity estimates similar to the nite dimensional case. As a consequence, an eecient computational method for solving the linearly constrained LQ control problem is now a vailable. In this pape...
متن کاملNumerical Computation of Cross-Coupled Algebraic Riccati Equations Related to H∞-Constrained LQG Control Problem
In this paper, the numerical algorithm for solving the state and output feedback H∞-constrained LQG control problem is investigated. Although the equations that have to be solved to design the controller consist of the nonlinear crosscoupled algebraic Riccati equations (CAREs), it is newly proven that both the uniqueness and the positive semidefiniteness of the iterative solutions can be guaran...
متن کاملOutput Variance–Constrained LQG Control of Discrete-Time Systems
The constrained infinite-horizon LQG control problem can be solved via semidefinite programming if the state-control constraints are given by variance-bounds on linear functions of the state and control input. Given a nonzero initial state covariance matrix, each suboptimal dynamic output feedback controller is initially time-varying but reaches time-invariance after a finite number of time ste...
متن کاملRobustness of adaptive discrete-time LQG control for first-order systems
The discrete-time adaptive LQG control of first-order systems is considered from robustness point of view. Both stability and performance robustness are analyzed for different control system structures. A case of amplitude-constrained control is presented, and application of certainty equivalence for self-tuning implementation is also discussed.
