Sensitivity-based Warmstarting for Nonlinear Model Predictive Control with Polyhedral State and Control Constraints
Dominic Liao-McPherson, Marco M. Nicotra, Asen L. Dontchev +2
Model predictive control (MPC) is of increasing interest in applications for constrained control of multivariable systems. However, one of the major obstacles to its broader use is…
A Semismooth Predictor Corrector Method for Suboptimal Model Predictive Control
Dominic Liao-McPherson, Marco Nicotra, Ilya Kolmanovsky
Suboptimal model predictive control is a technique that can reduce the computational cost of model predictive control (MPC) by exploiting its robustness to incomplete optimization.…
Spacecraft Attitude Control with Nonconvex Constraints: An Explicit Reference Governor Approach
Marco Nicotra, Dominic Liao-McPherson, Laurent Burlion +1
This paper introduces a novel attitude controller for spacecraft subject to actuator saturation and multiple exclusion cone constraints. The proposed solution relies on a two-layer…
Time Distributed Optimization for Model Predictive Control: Stability, Robustness, and Constraint Satisfaction
Dominic Liao-McPherson, Marco Nicotra, Ilya Kolmanovsky
Time distributed optimization is an implementation strategy that can significantly reduce the computational burden of model predictive control by exploiting its robustness to incom…
Technical Note for "A Geodesic Approach for the Control of Tethered Quadrotors"
Tam W. Nguyen, Marco M. Nicotra, Emanuele Garone
This technical note focuses on the control of a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) tethered to the ground. The control objective is to stabilize the UAV to the desired positio…
