Abstract:
Model predictive control (MPC) is a promising paradigm for high-performance and cost-effective control of complex dynamic systems. This talk will introduce a recent result on adaptive robust model predictive control (MPC) for a class of constrained linear systems with unknown model parameters. By proactively designing the online estimation mechanism and constructing the tube-based adaptive MPC scheme, the enhanced performance can be achieved compared to the robust tube MPC method. Some existing challenges and future research directions will be discussed.
