Adaptive event-triggered online learning control of uncertain strict-feedback systems using Gaussian processes: theory and experiments
摘要
This paper proposes an adaptive event-triggered online learning control scheme for uncertain strict-feedback systems. Existing event-triggered online learning methods typically rely on prior knowledge of the Lipschitz constants or upper bounds of the Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space norms of system dynamics, which are often unavailable in practice. To overcome this issue, an adaptive law is developed to estimate the Lipschitz constants in real time. Furthermore, an adaptive event-triggered mechanism is designed, ensuring that the Gaussian process model updates training data only when triggering conditions are violated, thereby enhancing data efficiency and reducing computational complexity. Through Lyapunov stability theory, we prove that the proposed online learning control algorithm ensures the boundedness of all signals in the closed-loop system. The effectiveness and practical applicability of the proposed method are demonstrated through numerical simulations and real-time experiments on a Franka Emika Panda robotic arm.
