On October 23, we hosted a scientific seminar titled “From MPC Design to Code Prototype: MPT+.” The seminar was led by Juraj Oravec, an associate professor, and Juraj Holaza, a lecturer, both from the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. It was organized as part of the consortium meeting for the FrontSeat project at Ruhr University Bochum and was featured in the “Research Seminar on Smart Cybernetics” series with a live online stream.

Abstract:
Model Predictive Control (MPC) represents a state-of-the-art approach to optimal process control. Although theoretically well-developed, its real-time industrial deployment is challenged by the impact of unknown or neglected effects on the predicted behavior of the controlled plant. This talk revisits the well-established safety and stability concepts and addresses the challenges of recent control problems related to real-time implementation in uncertain systems or approximated control laws. To enhance MPC design’s focus on control performance, theoretical concepts such as Tube MPC design and approximated MPC design are implemented in an open-source extension of the widely-used Multiparametric Toolbox, MPT+. Its main benefits and novel features are demonstrated through illustrative examples.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon under grant no. 101079342 (Fostering Opportunities Towards Slovak Excellence in Advanced Control for Smart Industries).
