Adaptive Dynamic Programming (ADP) has received increasing attention recently. ADP scheme is a design that approximates dynamic programming in the general case, i.e., approximates optimal control over time in noisy, nonlinear environments. There are many engineering problems in practice which can be formulated as cost maximization or minimization problems. Dynamic programming is a very useful tool in solving these problems. However, it is often computationally untenable to run dynamic programming due to the backward numerical process required for its solutions. Over the years, progress has been made to provide approximate solutions to dynamic programming. The idea is to approximate dynamic programming solutions by using neural networks to approximate the cost function. The methodology is a very useful tool for building intelligent agents/controllers in almost any environment.
This speech will review the theorectical development of ADP. Details about the training of the neural networks used in the present design will also be presented. The pole balancing (inverted pendulum) problem will be used as the benchmark in this presentation to show the applicability of ADP.
