Unscented optimal control

In mathematics, unscented optimal control combines the notion of the unscented transform with deterministic optimal control to address a class of uncertain optimal control problems.^[1]^[2]^[3] It is a specific application of Riemmann-Stieltjes optimal control theory,^[4]^[5] a concept introduced by Ross and his coworkers.

Mathematical description

Suppose that the initial state $x^{0}$ of a dynamical system,

${\dot {x}}=f(x,u,t)$

is an uncertain quantity. Let $\mathrm {X} ^{i}$ be the sigma points. Then sigma-copies of the dynamical system are given by,

${\dot {\mathrm {X} }}^{i}=f(\mathrm {X} ^{i},u,t)$

Applying standard deterministic optimal control principles to this ensemble generates an unscented optimal control.^[6]^[7]^[8] Unscented optimal control is a special case of tychastic optimal control theory.^[1]^[9]^[10] According to Aubin^[10] and Ross,^[1] tychastic processes differ from stochastic processes in that a tychastic process is conditionally deterministic.

Applications

Unscented optimal control theory has been applied to UAV guidance,^[8]^[11] spacecraft attitude control,^[12] air-traffic control^[13] and low-thrust trajectory optimization^[2]^[6]
