RL-MPC Integration Taxonomy for Linear Systems

publication · 2026-04-25

A systematic literature review categorizes integrations of Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Model Predictive Control (MPC) for linear and linearized systems. The study covers peer-reviewed works published up to 2025, organizing them via a multi-dimensional taxonomy that includes RL functional roles, RL algorithm classes, MPC formulations, and cost-function structures. The integration aims to combine MPC's structured optimization and constraint handling with RL's data-driven adaptation under uncertainty. The paper addresses fragmentation in the rapidly growing field.
