摘要:AbstractStochastic nonlinear model predictive control (SNMPC) allows to directly take model uncertainty into account, e.g., by including probabilistic chance constraints. This paper proposes linear-regression Kalman filtering to perform high-accuracy propagation of mean and covariance information for the nonlinear system dynamics in a tractable approximation of the stochastic optimal control problem. In addition, a tailored adjoint-based sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm is presented to considerably reduce the computational cost and allow a real-time implementation of the resulting SNMPC. The prediction accuracy and control performance of the proposed approach are illustrated on a vehicle control application subject to external disturbances, while highlighting a worst-case computation time of 10 ms for SNMPC which is close to that of deterministic NMPC for this particular case study.
