Abstract

Evolution Strategies (ES) are stochastic optimization techniques obeying an evolutionist paradigm, that can be used to find global optima over a response hypersurface. The current investigation focuses on robust controller synthesis, using the unsupervised learning capabilities of ES’s issued from their evolutionist paradigm. The training process intents to construct a Lyapunov Function which guarantees internal stability, performance and disturbance rejection.
