Path Integral Control for Partially Observed Systems with Controlled Sensing

Systems and Control 2026-04-22 v1 Systems and Control

Abstract

Path integral control in Gaussian belief space requires a structural matching condition between the observation-driven diffusion of the belief mean and the actuation authority, which a fixed observation matrix cannot enforce. We treat the observation matrix as a control variable and show that constraining the sensing control to a measurable selector from the resulting matching set reduces the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation for the belief mean and covariance to a linear PDE with a Feynman-Kac representation.
