A controller for controlling a system having uncertainties in its dynamics subject to constraints on an operation of the system is provided. The controller is configured to acquire historical data of the operation of the system, and determine, for the system in a current state, a current control action transitioning a state of the system from the current state to a next state. The current control action is determined according to a robust and constraint Markov decision process (RCMDP) that uses the historical data to optimize a performance cost of the operation of the system subject to an optimization of a safety cost enforcing the constraints on the operation, wherein a state transition for each of state and action pairs in the performance cost and the safety cost is represented by a plurality of state transitions capturing the uncertainties of the dynamics of the system.
