New method uses invertible neural networks for certified feedforward control

Researchers have developed a method for certifying data-driven feedforward control for unknown nonlinear systems, particularly for periodic tracking with partial state measurements. The approach utilizes an invertible neural network (INN) as a surrogate model, which simplifies the process by avoiding complex nonconvex inversion problems. By applying conformal prediction to estimate surrogate modeling errors, the method provides finite-sample probabilistic guarantees and marginal certificates on feedforward tracking error. This technique was demonstrated on a DC motor with nonlinear friction. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more reliable and certifiable AI-driven control systems in robotics and automation.
