Model Predictive Control (MPC) virtual lab
MPC Virtual Lab
This virtual lab contains interactive exercises to study the design of linear and adaptive model predictive controllers (MPCs) for implementing a vehicle steering control system.
The lab solutions are available upon instructor request. If you would like to request solutions, find an issue, or have a suggestion, contact us here.
Learning Goals
- Model and simulate lateral vehicle dynamics
- Design a linear MPC controller for the vehicle steering control system
- Design an adaptive MPC controller for the vehicle steering control system
- Bonus: Create custom trajectory and/or learn about methods for improved controllers
Setup
To get started with the MPC virtual lab, double-click the MPCVirtualLab.prj file inside MATLAB™. Then open up the MPC_virtual_lab.mlx live script, where you'll find the instructions for running the interactive exercises to complete the virtual lab.
Suggested Prework
