Adaptive-optimal control of vehicle lateral dynamics via integral-reinforcement-learning actor–critic policy iteration

Sep 2026 · International Journal of Dynamics and Control · Vol 14 · 0 citations · 16 references

TL;DR

Simulation results show that the IRL actor–critic controller matches or improves upon the fixed-gain baseline after a plant change while, unlike the certainty-equivalence scheme, requiring no continuous probing/dither signal for identifiability—avoiding the associated persistent tracking-error penalty.

Reinforcement learning-based control for autonomous vehicle trajectory tracking under coupled physical-cyber disturbances

This paper presents a reinforcement learning (RL)-based trajectory tracking control method for an autonomous vehicle (AV) under coupled road disturbances and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Unlike existing studies that treat physical-layer disturbances and network-layer attacks separately, we construct a unified augme...

Stability-Aware Imitation Learning from Model Predictive Control for Autonomous Vehicle Lateral Control: Exact Q-Loss and a Novel Training Procedure

This paper develops a certified imitation-learning framework for approximating model predictive control (MPC) policies with feedforward neural controllers and validates it on autonomous-vehicle lateral control. An exact finite-horizon Q-loss is constructed by fixing the learner's first steering action in the expert MPC...

Performance Analysis of Q-Learning; DQN-Enhanced PID Controllers for Aircraft Trajectory Tracking Under Wind Disturbances

Traditional fixed-gain proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controllers often exhibit limited adaptability when regulating the longitudinal motion of passenger aircraft under varying flight conditions and external disturbances. This study proposes an adaptive control framework that integrates reinforcement learning (...

Actor–Critic Predefined-Time Adaptive Tracking Control for Partially Unknown Euler–Lagrange Systems

Comparative simulations on a 2-DOF planar manipulator demonstrate that the proposed method provides faster convergence and improved steady-state tracking accuracy than both a PID baseline and a classical Slotine–Li adaptive baseline, while respecting the predefined-time bound.
