Cloud-Assisted Nonlinear Model Predictive Control for Finite-Duration Tasks

Improved Optimization Process for Nonlinear Model Predictive Control of PMSM

Model-based predictive control (MPC) is one of the most efficient techniques that is widely used in industrial applications. In such controllers, increasing the prediction horizon results in better selection of the optimal control signal sequence. On the other hand, increasing the prediction horizon increase the computational time of the optimization process which make it impossible to be imple...

Learning Model Predictive Control for Iterative Tasks

A Learning Model Predictive Controller (LMPC) for iterative tasks is presented. The controller is referencefree and is able to improve its performance by learning from previous iterations. A safe set and a terminal cost function are used in order to guarantee recursive feasibility and nonincreasing performance at each iteration. The paper presents the control design approach, and shows how to r...

Robust Model Predictive Control for a Class of Discrete Nonlinear systems

This paper presents a robust model predictive control scheme for a class of discrete-time nonlinear systems subject to state and input constraints. Each subsystem is composed of a nominal LTI part and an additive uncertain non-linear time-varying function which satisfies a quadratic constraint. Using the dual-mode MPC stability theory, a sufficient condition is constructed for synthesizing the ...

Nonparametric Nonlinear Model Predictive Control

−Model Predictive Control (MPC) has recently found wide acceptance in industrial applications, but its potential has been much impeded by linear models due to the lack of a similarly accepted nonlinear modeling or databased technique. Aimed at solving this problem, the paper addresses three issues: (i) extending second-order Volterra nonlinear MPC (NMPC) to higher-order for improved prediction ...
