  • In this paper, we present a novel method to drive a nonlinear system to a desired state, with limited a priori knowledge of its dynamic model: local dynamics at a single point and the bounds on the rate of change of these dynamics. This method synthesizes control actions by utilizing locally learned dynamics along a trajectory, based on data available up to that moment, and known proxy dynamics, which can generate an underapproximation of the unknown system's true reachable set. An important benefit to the contributions of this paper is the lack of knowledge needed to execute the presented control method. We establish sufficient conditions to ensure that a controlled trajectory reaches a small neighborhood of any provably reachable state within a short time horizon, with precision dependent on the tunable parameters of these conditions.
