Design of adaptive controllers by means of PPO algorithm using MATLAB

This paper investigates reinforcement learning (RL) as a practical framework for achieving optimal adaptive control across several simple dynamical system models. All experiments were conducted using the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm, implemented within the MATLAB Reinforcement Learning Toolbox. The primary focus of this study is to explore how the learning process can be empirically designed to sufficiently excite the system dynamics and obtain a sufficiently robust controller.
