Unfalsified Control Theory:   Quantitative theory of learning and adaptation

· Let the data speak...

· Use evolving real-time data to unfalsify (validate) controllers against hard performance criteria:

o Choose criteria expressible directly in terms of observed data (sensor outputs, actuator inputs).

o Avoid criteria based on “noise models” or other prior beliefs.

· Whenever the currently active controller is falsified by evolving I/O data, it is automatically replaced by an unfalsified controller.

· Selected papers & software demos on Unfalsified Control.
