Model Predictive Control for Autonomous Vehicles and Robots [Self-Funded Students Only]
Research Group:
Visual Computing
Model predictive control (MPC) is a family of modern control methods that have demonstrated impressive performance in a variety of scenarios, including in robotics and autonomous vehicle control. Such methods rely on models that can predict a system's future behaviour in response to control inputs in order to find the optimal actions that drive the system to a desired state. Read more
