Data-driven Koopman MPC using Mixed Stochastic-Deterministic Tubes

Abstract

This paper presents a novel data-driven stochastic MPC design for discrete-time nonlinear systems with additive disturbances by leveraging the Koopman operator and a distributionally robust optimization (DRO) framework. By lifting the dynamical system into a linear space, we achieve a finite-dimensional approximation of the Koopman operator. We explicitly account for the modeling approximation and additive disturbance error by a mixed stochastic-deterministic tube for the lifted linear model. This ensures the regulation of the original nonlinear system while complying with the prespecified constraints. Stochastic and deterministic tubes are constructed using a DRO and a hyper-cube hull, respectively. We provide finite sample error bounds for both types of tubes. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated through numerical simulations.
