Popis: We formulate a mathematical framework for designing a self-tuning network control architecture, and propose a computationally-feasible greedy algorithm for online architecture optimization. In this setting, the locations of active sensors and actuators in the network, as well as the feedback control policy are jointly adapted using all available information about the network states and dynamics to optimize a performance criterion. We show that the case with full-state feedback can be solved with dynamic programming, and in the linear-quadratic setting, the optimal cost functions and policies are piecewise quadratic and piecewise linear, respectively. Our framework is extended for joint sensor and actuator selection for dynamic output feedback control with both control performance and architecture costs. For large networks where exhaustive architecture search is prohibitive, we describe a greedy heuristic for actuator selection and propose a greedy swapping algorithm for joint sensor and actuator selection. Via numerical experiments, we demonstrate a dramatic performance improvement of greedy self-tuning architectures over fixed architectures. Our general formulation provides an extremely rich and challenging problem space with opportunities to apply a wide variety of approximation methods from stochastic control, system identification, reinforcement learning, and static architecture design for practical model-based control.
