Parallel Explicit Tube Model Predictive Control (1910.03271v1)

Abstract: This paper is about a parallel algorithm for tube-based model predictive control. The proposed control algorithm solves robust model predictive control problems suboptimally, while exploiting their structure. This is achieved by implementing a real-time algorithm that iterates between the evaluation of piecewise affine functions, corresponding to the parametric solution of small-scale robust MPC problems, and the online solution of structured equality constrained QPs. The performance of the associated real-time robust MPC controllers is illustrated by a numerical case study.
