Learning-based control has been considered as an effective control technique for systems with unknown dynamics/disturbances. Conventional learning-based control has been proven and applied to both continuous-time and discrete-time systems, as well as large-scale interconnected systems. Recently there is a burst of reinforcement learning research, which relies on the interaction between a decision-making agent and its environment to achieve long-term goals. Both model-based and model-free reinforcement learning has been widely studied and applied to various applications. Another recent research direction is to combine both conventional and advanced learning-based control with other control techniques such as optimal control and adaptive control, to provide a systematic control solution with theoretical performance guarantees. This special issue will focus on recent research and development in learning-based control and its applications including but not limited to automotive systems, energy systems, real-time embedded control, etc.
