Short course on
Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (and Moving Horizon Estimation)
Moritz Diehl, Peter Kühl
18.06.2006, 9am, IWR INF 368, Room 432

09.00 - 10.30 Intro to feedback control and advantages of NMPC (Peter Kühl)
10.45 - 12.00 A look into the numerics of NMPC (Moritz Diehl)
13.00 - 14.00 Stability and Optimality
14.15 - 15.00 Intro to the NMPC Toolkit
15.00 - ? Computer exercise: Setting up NMPC and MHE for a chemical reactor


The course is meant for those who have never heard about NMPC, as well as for those who know about it but have never used our software. For the computer exercise it is recommended to know how to set up an off-line optimal control problem in MUSCOD-II (i.e. usage of model c-file and dat-file).
