【内容简介】

Model predictive control (MPC) is a promising paradigm for high-performance and cost-effective control of motion control systems such as autonomous underwater vehicles. This talk will firstly briefly introduce the essential design idea and diagrams of MPC. Further, novel robust MPC methods for path planning and control of autonomous underwater vehicles will be presented. Finally, an enhanced fast optimization algorithm to facilitate the real-time MPC will be discussed.
