SUMMARY:Talk of Janani Venkatasubramanian, M.Sc.
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nTargeted exploration and optimal experiment design have a long-standing role in system\nidentification and control, offering systematic methods to design excitation inputs that improve\nparameter estimation. However, classical approaches typically lack guarantees of excitation on the\nexploration inputs. In this talk, we present a unified approach to estimate parameters of linear\nsystems subject to either stochastic or non-stochastic disturbances. We provide a priori,\nnon-asymptotic guarantees on the parameter estimation error that can be ensured before exploration.\nFurthermore, we are interested in capturing the 'dual effect' - the interplay between control\nperformance and exploration. Leveraging tools from gain-scheduling, we integrate the design of\ntargeted exploration and robust control, resulting in a tractable dual control strategy for linear\nsystems.  \nBiographical Information\nJanani Venkatasubramanian is a Ph.D. candidate at the Institute for Systems Theory and Automatic\nControl, University of Stuttgart, advised by Prof. Frank Allgöwer. She is also a member of the\nInternational Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS). She received her M.Sc.\nin Electrical Engineering from Delft University of Technology in 2018. In 2023, she visited the\nUniversity of Oxford for a research stay, hosted by Prof. Mark Cannon. Her research focuses on the\nintersection of system identification and robust control, with particular interests in optimal\nexperiment design and dual control.\n\n\n\n\n
