## Summary

The study proposes a disturbance-aware Koopman control family (DA-KCF) framework that preserves an offline-identified nominal model, learns only a disturbance correction online, and embeds it into model predictive control (MPC) to optimize position and yaw references. The reference-dependent KCF is first learned from simulation data and then calibrated with limited hardware data; during deployment the nominal model remains fixed, and a lightweight residual ensemble learns a low-dimensional disturbance correction from causal state-command-state transitions.
