August 23-27, 2012 abstract: Mechanical applications often require a high control frequency to cope with fast dynamics. The control frequency of a nonlinear model predictive controller depends strongly on the symbolic complexity of the equations modeling the system. The symbolic complexity of the model equations for multi-body mechanical systems can often be dramatically reduced by using representations based on non-minimal coordinates, which result in index-3 differential-algebraic equations (DAEs). This paper proposes a general procedure to efficiently treat multi-body mechanical systems in the context of MHE & NMPC using non-minimal coordinate representations, and provides the resulting computational times that can be achieved on a tethered airplane system using code generation. date: 2012 date_type: published publication: IFAC Proceedings Volumes volume: 45 number: 17 publisher: Elsevier pagerange: 86-93 event_title: IFAC Conference on Nonlinear Model Predictive Control event_type: conference id_number: doi:10.3182/20120823-5-NL-3013.00061 refereed: TRUE issn: 14746670 official_url: http://doi.org/10.3182/20120823-5-NL-3013.00061 citation: Gros, Sébastien and Zanon, Mario and Vukov, Milan and Diehl, Moritz Nonlinear MPC and MHE for Mechanical Multi-Body Systems with Application to Fast Tethered Airplanes.
