On Trajectory Tracking Model Predictive Control of an Unmanned Quadrotor Helicopter Subject to Aerodynamic Disturbances

In this article a model predictive control (MPC) strategy for the trajectory tracking of an unmanned quadrotor is presented. The quadrotor's dynamics are modeled using a hybrid systems approach and, specifically, a set of piecewise affine (PWA) systems around different operating points of the translational and rotational motions. The proposed control scheme is dual and consists of an integral MPC for the translational motions, followed by an MPC scheme for the tracking of the quadrotor's attitude motions. By the utilization of PWA representations, the controller is computed for a larger part of the quadrotor's flight envelope, which provides more control authority for aggressive maneuvering. The proposed dual control scheme is able to calculate optimal control actions with robustness against atmospheric disturbances (e.g. wind gusts) and with respect to the physical constraints of the quadrotor (e.g. maximum lifting forces or fixed thrust limitations in order to extend flight endurance). Extended simulation studies indicate the efficiency of the MPC scheme, both in trajectory tracking and aerodynamic disturbance attenuation.     

Adaptive receding horizon predictive control for constrained discrete-time linear systems with parameter uncertainties

This paper proposes a discrete-time model predictive control (MPC) scheme combined with an adaptive mechanism. To this end, first, an adaptive parameter estimation algorithm suitable for MPC is proposed, which uses the available input and output signals to estimate the unknown system parameters. It enables the prediction of a monotonically decreasing worst-case estimation error bound over the prediction horizon of MPC. These distinctive features allow for future model improvement to be explicitly considered in MPC. Thus, a less conservative adaptive-type MPC controller can be developed based on the proposed estimation method. Second, we show how the discrete-time adaptive-type state-feedback MPC controller is constructed by combining the on-line parameter estimation scheme with a modified robust MPC method based on the comparison model. The developed MPC controller guarantees feasibility and stability of the closed-loop system theoretically in the presence of input and state constraints. A numerical example is given to demonstrate its effectiveness.     

Sensor‐fault tolerance using robust MPC with set‐based state estimation and active fault isolation

In this paper, a sensor fault‐tolerant control scheme using robust model predictive control (MPC) and set‐theoretic fault detection and isolation (FDI) is proposed. The robust MPC controller is used to control the plant in the presence of process disturbances and measurement noises while implementing a mechanism to tolerate faults. In the proposed scheme, fault detection (FD) is passive based on interval observers, while fault isolation (FI) is active by means of MPC and set manipulations. The basic idea is that for a healthy or faulty mode, one can construct the corresponding output set. The size and location of the output set can be manipulated by adjusting the size and center of the set of plant inputs. Furthermore, the inputs can be adjusted on‐line by changing the input‐constraint set of the MPC controller. In this way, one can design an input set able to separate all output sets corresponding to all considered healthy and faulty modes from each other. Consequently, all the considered healthy and faulty modes can be isolated after detecting a mode changing while preserving feasibility of MPC controller. As a case study, an electric circuit is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Computation delay compensation for real time implementation of robust model predictive control

The implementation of model predictive control (MPC) requires to solve an optimization problem online. The computation time, often not negligible especially for nonlinear MPC (NMPC), introduces a delay in the feedback loop. Moreover, it impedes fast sampling rate setting for the controller to react to uncertainties quickly. In this paper, a dual time scale control scheme is proposed for linear/nonlinear systems with external disturbances. A pre-compensator works at fast sampling rate to suppress uncertainty, while the outer MPC controller updates the open loop input sequence at a slower rate. The computation delay is explicitly considered and compensated in the MPC design. Four robust MPC algorithms for linear/nonlinear systems in the literature are adopted and tailored for the proposed control scheme. The recursive feasibility and stability are rigorously analysed. Three simulation examples are provided to validate the proposed approaches.     

A multi-iteration pseudo-linear regression method and an adaptive disturbance model for MPC

This paper proposes an MPC method that uses an adaptive disturbance model to improve the accuracy of prediction. In unmeasured disturbance model identification, a novel multi-iteration pseudo-linear regression (MIPLR) method is used which is more accurate and has faster convergence than traditional recursive identification methods. The adaptive disturbance model is used in an MPC scheme for improved performance in disturbance rejection. The method is demonstrated by the simulation of a distillation column and also tested on the real process. The test results show that the proposed MPC scheme can not only increase control performance, but also increase robustness.     

A fixed-point iteration scheme for real-time model predictive control

A simple model predictive control (MPC) concept for nonlinear systems under input constraints is considered. The presented algorithm takes advantage of an MPC formulation without terminal constraints in order to solve the optimality conditions by a fixed-point iteration scheme that is easy to implement and of algorithmic simplicity. Sufficient conditions for the contraction of the fixed-point iterations are derived. To allow for a real-time implementation within an MPC scheme, a constant number of fixed-point iterations is used in each sampling step and sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability and incremental reduction of the suboptimality are presented.     

Uniting bounded control and MPC for stabilization of constrained linear systems

In this work, a hybrid control scheme, uniting bounded control with model predictive control (MPC), is proposed for the stabilization of linear time-invariant systems with input constraints. The scheme is predicated upon the idea of switching between a model predictive controller, that minimizes a given performance objective subject to constraints, and a bounded controller, for which the region of constrained closed-loop stability is explicitly characterized. Switching laws, implemented by a logic-based supervisor that constantly monitors the plant, are derived to orchestrate the transition between the two controllers in a way that safeguards against any possible instability or infeasibility under MPC, reconciles the stability and optimality properties of both controllers, and guarantees asymptotic closed-loop stability for all initial conditions within the stability region of the bounded controller. The hybrid control scheme is shown to provide, irrespective of the chosen MPC formulation, a safety net for the practical implementation of MPC, for open-loop unstable plants, by providing a priori knowledge, through off-line computations, of a large set of initial conditions for which closed-loop stability is guaranteed. The implementation of the proposed approach is illustrated, through numerical simulations, for an exponentially unstable linear system.     

Nonlinear model predictive control of a magnetic levitation system

The paper presents a fast nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) scheme for a magnetic levitation system. A nonlinear dynamical model of the levitation system is derived that additionally captures the inductor current dynamics of the electromagnet in order to achieve a high MPC performance both for stabilization and fast setpoint changes of the levitating mass. The optimization algorithm underlying the MPC scheme accounts for control constraints and allows for a time and memory efficient computation of the single iteration. The overall control performance of the levitation system as well as the low computational costs of the MPC scheme is shown both in simulations and experiments with a sampling frequency of 700 Hz on a standard dSPACE hardware.
