In this paper, we present an online data-driven inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) method for estimating the cost function of continuous-time linear and nonlinear deterministic systems from state and input measurements. Our approach utilizes Bellman error, obtained from integral reinforcement learning, with error derived from the closed-form equation of an optimal controller as the performance metric to develop a recursive IRL technique. Our proposed scheme does not require the time derivative of states or the drift dynamics of a system. We describe a Lyapunov-based analysis to show the ultimate boundedness of the estimation errors. Simulation studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
