--- # 📘 What is MPC? | Model Predictive Control Explained Welcome to the **"What is MPC?"** repository! 🚀 This project serves as a comprehensive introduction to **Model Predictive Control (MPC)**, a cutting-edge control strategy widely used in engineering, robotics, and AI systems. --- ## 📌 Overview **Model Predictive Control (MPC)** is an advanced control method that: * **Predicts** future system behavior over a defined time horizon. * **Optimizes** control inputs to achieve desired outcomes while respecting constraints. * **Updates** predictions and control actions in real-time, making it ideal for dynamic and uncertain environments. --- ## 🔍 Key Features * **Nonlinear and Economic MPC**: Tailored for complex systems with nonlinear dynamics. * **Support for Differential Algebraic Equations (DAE)**: Enables modeling of systems with algebraic constraints. * **Robust Multi-Stage MPC**: Incorporates uncertainty through scenario trees to ensure constraint satisfaction. * **Moving Horizon Estimation (MHE)**: Provides real-time state estimation for improved control accuracy. * **Modular Design**: Easily extendable components for simulation, estimation, and control applications. --- ## 📚 Official Documentation For a deeper understanding and advanced topics, refer to the official documentation: * [do-mpc 4.6.5 Documentation](https://www.do-mpc.com/en/v4.6.5/) * [do-mpc 5.0.1 Documentation](https://www.do-mpc.com/en/latest/) These resources provide in-depth explanations, API references, and tutorials to enhance your MPC knowledge. --- ## 🎯 Applications MPC is applied in various domains, including: * **Autonomous Vehicles**: Path planning and control. * **Robotics**: Motion control and trajectory optimization. * **Energy Systems**: Demand response and load forecasting. * **Finance**: Portfolio optimization and risk management. --- ## 💬 Community and Support Join the conversation and seek support through: * [do-mpc GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/do-mpc/do-mpc/discussions) * [Stack Overflow: #mpc](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mpc) Feel free to open issues or contribute to discussions to enhance this repository! --- ## 📄 License This project is licensed under the MIT License - see the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for details. --- ## 📸 Visuals  *Illustration of MPC architecture and prediction horizon.* ---
