摘要:AbstractThis work presents the real-time control of 1:43 scale autonomous race cars using nonlinear model predictive control based on a singularity-free prediction model. This model allows the car to drive at both low and high speeds and in stop-and-go maneuvers. Additional constraints are imposed in the optimal control problem to ensure the validity of the model assumptions. Moreover, the control scheme is capable of avoiding obstacles online. The experimental results show that the proposed method converges to nearly time-optimal behavior by maximizing the progress on the track and achieves competitive lap time results.
