Content

This lecture deals with Model Predictive Control (MPC), a modern control concept which has been actively researched and widely applied in industry in the last years. After an introduction to the basic ideas and stability concepts of MPC, more recent and current advances in research, like tube-based MPC considering robustness issues, or hybrid MPC as well as stochastic MPC, are discussed.

Prerequisites: "Einführung in die Regelungstechnik" (ERT) and "Konzepte der Regelungstechnik" (KRT), or equivalent lectures.

The course is given in English.
