This bit caught my eye… behind the jargon, the conventional approach is a *very* primitive strategy. SISO PID+gain scheduling is basically 1950s era controls. There would be no stability guarantees which removes one on the big reasons to use control theoretic over AI approaches.

I always liked the idea of throwing AI at control problems, even though conservative friends would whine about lack of stability and convergence guarantees. But most controls as practiced in industry doesn’t use the advanced techniques that offer such guarantees anyway.

What’s more, most formally verifiable control architectures assume models that are not very good outside of very precisely modeled domains like aerospace. And tools to accommodate “model uncertainty” as it’s called are very limited (things like H-infinity never got very far)
Replying to
There’s a good chance modern AI will eat 80-90% of advanced controls problems. And if you squint half of them are Adisguise anyway. Like even Kalman filters are really a sort of RL.
