Abstract

We consider the problem of modeling, estimating, and controlling the latent state of a spatiotemporally evolving continuous function using very few sensor measurements and actuator locations. Our solution to the problem consists of two parts: a predictive model of functional evolution, and feedback based estimator and controllers that can robustly recover the state of the model and drive it to a desired function. We show that layering a dynamical systems prior over temporal evolution of weights of a kernel model is a valid approach to spatiotemporal modeling that leads to systems theoretic, control-usable, predictive models. We provide sufficient conditions on the number of sensors and actuators required to guarantee observability and controllability. The approach is validated on a large real dataset, and in simulation for the control of spatiotemporally evolving function.
