pyMPC

Linear Constrained Model Predictive Control (MPC) in Python:

where

Requirements

pyMPC requires the following packages:

• numpy
• scipy
• OSQP
• matplotlib

Installation

Stable version from PyPI

Run the command

pip install python-mpc

This will install the stable version of pyMPC from the PyPI package repository.

Latest version from GitHub

1. Get a local copy the pyMPC project. For instance, run

git clone https://github.com/forgi86/pyMPC.git

in a terminal to clone the project using git. Alternatively, download the zipped pyMPC project from this link and extract it in a local folder

2. Install pyMPC by running

pip install -e .

in the pyMPC project root folder (where the file setup.py is located).

Supported platforms

We successfully tested pyMPC on the following platforms:

• Windows 10 on a PC with x86-64 CPU
• Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on a PC with x86-64 CPU
• Raspbian Buster on a Raspberry PI 3 rev B

Detailed instructions for the Raspberry PI platform are available here.

Usage

This code snippets illustrates the use of the MPCController class:

from pyMPC.mpc import MPCController

K = MPCController(Ad,Bd,Np=20, x0=x0,xref=xref,uminus1=uminus1,
                  Qx=Qx, QxN=QxN, Qu=Qu,QDu=QDu,
                  xmin=xmin,xmax=xmax,umin=umin,umax=umax,Dumin=Dumin,Dumax=Dumax)
K.setup()

...

xstep = x0
for i in range(nsim): 
  uMPC = K.output()
  xstep = Ad.dot(xstep) + Bd.dot(uMPC)  # system simulation steps
  K.update(xstep) # update with measurement

Full working examples are given in the examples folder:

• Point mass with input force and friction
• Inverted pendulum on a cart
• Inverted pendulum on a cart with kalman filter
