# mpc_python
Python implementation of mpc controller for path tracking.
## About
The MPC is a model predictive path following controller which does follow a predefined reference path Xref and Yref by solving an optimization problem. The resulting optimization problem is shown in the following equation:
min $ J(x(t),U) = \sum^{t+T-1}_{j=t} (x_{j,ref} - x_{j})^T_{j}Q(x_{j,ref} - x_{j}) + u^T_{j}Ru_{j} $
s.t.
$ x(0) = x0 $
$ x_{j+1} = Ax_{j}+Bu_{j})$ for $t< j <t+T-1 $
$ U_{MIN} < u_{j} < U_{MAX} $ for $t< j <t+T-1 $
The vehicle dynamics are described by the differential drive model:
* $\dot{x} = v\cos{\theta}$
* $\dot{y} = v\sin{\theta}$
* $\dot{\theta} = w$
The state variables of the model are:
* $x$ coordinate of the robot
* $y$ coordinate of the robot
* $\theta$ heading of the robot
The inputs of the model are:
* $v$ linear velocity of the robot
* $w$ angular velocity of the robot
