Abstract

The parameter-tuning method we discuss is for an Adaptive Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller (ANMPC). The MPC is optimization-based controller and decides control input to realize system output that tracks a reference trajectory through “optimal computation.” The reference trajectory is ideal trajectory of system output to converge on a desired value, i.e. controlled system performance depends on the reference trajectory. As a MPC controller which applies to the nonlinear systems, our group has already proposed an adaptive nonlinear MPC (ANMPC) for a tracking control problem of nonlinear two-link planar manipulators. This ANMPC uses a new reference trajectory having control parameters that must be tuned based on the desired controlled system’s responses and properties. To reduce troublesome parameter tuning, we propose new parameter-tuning method for ANMPC by a quantitative analysis of the relationship between a system’s behavior and ANMPC parameters. Numerically simulating the two-link nonlinear manipulator’s tracking control under various conditions demonstrates that proposed tuning method tunes the ANMPC effectively.
