摘要

This study presents a data-driven controller (DDC) for stabilizing cardiac rhythm dynamics. A total disturbance observer (TDO) is integrated to estimate unmodeled dynamics and external disturbances, thereby enhancing robustness to uncertainty. To eliminate manual gain tuning, an actor–critic smart tuning agent is trained offline using randomized cardiac-model simulations. During closed-loop operation, the trained actor weights remain fixed while the policy generates bounded, state-dependent controller gains online. In addition, a control-effort penalty is embedded within the reward function to discourage excessive actuation, thereby reducing control effort and discouraging unnecessarily abrupt actuation in the simulations. The proposed strategy is evaluated under three robustness dimensions: (i) synthetic band-limited disturbances spanning 0.8–30 Hz and grouped into Delta-, Theta-, Alpha-, and Beta-labeled frequency intervals, (ii) additive stochastic noise at multiple power levels, and (iii) reference-heartbeat variation and actuator-saturation constraints. Simulation results demonstrate accurate reference tracking and improved robustness compared with non-optimal iPID, ultra-local model (ULM), and conventional sliding-mode control (SMC). Across all tested conditions, the STA-tuned DDC strategy consistently achieves lower RMSE and MAE values and improved performance index while maintaining minimal tracking delay relative to the reference heartbeat.
