Data-Driven Computation of Robust Invariant Sets and Gain-Scheduled Controllers for Linear Parameter-Varying Systems

Abstract: We present a direct data-driven approach to synthesize robust control invariant (RCI) sets and their associated gain-scheduled feedback control laws for linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems subjected to bounded disturbances. A data-set consisting of a single state-input-scheduling trajectory is gathered from the system, which is directly utilized to compute polytopic RCI set and controllers by solving a semidefinite program. The proposed method does not require an intermediate LPV model identification step. Through a numerical example, we show that the proposed approach can generate RCI sets with a relatively small number of data samples when the data satisfies certain excitation conditions.
