Learning Model Predictive Control for Periodic Repetitive Tasks
Nicola Scianca, Ugo Rosolia, Francesco Borrelli
We propose a reference-free learning model predictive controller for periodic repetitive tasks. We consider a problem in which dynamics, constraints and stage cost are periodically…

Gait Generation using Intrinsically Stable MPC in the Presence of Persistent Disturbances
Filippo M. Smaldone, Nicola Scianca, Valerio Modugno +2
Maintaining balance while walking is not a simple task for a humanoid robot because of its complex dynamics. The presence of a persistent disturbance makes this task even more chal…

MPC for Humanoid Gait Generation: Stability and Feasibility
Nicola Scianca, Daniele De Simone, Leonardo Lanari +1
We present IS-MPC, an intrinsically stable MPC framework for humanoid gait generation which incorporates an explicit stability constraint in the formulation. The proposed method us…
