Controller and method for providing an optimized control signal for controlling a technical system

A controller for providing an optimized control signal for controlling a technical system, the controller comprising:

• an input module configured to read in sensor data related to the technical system,
• a configuration module configured to provide a first configuration parameter for configuring an optimization module and a second configuration parameter for configuring an uncertainty quantification module,
• the optimization module configured to provide a control signal depending on the first configuration parameter,
• the uncertainty quantification module configured
• to provide an uncertainty range or statistical distribution for the control signal depending on the second configuration parameter,
• to determine respective performance values for said or a given control signal within the uncertainty range or the statistical distribution by a computer-aided simulation of the technical system considering the sensor data,
• and
• to analyze the respective performance values and to provide an analysis result,
• and
• an output module configured to output an optimized control signal for controlling the technical system by selecting, by the optimization module, the control signal as optimal according to the analysis result.
