A Framework for Quasi Time-Optimal Nonlinear Model Predictive Control with Soft Constraints
In many mechatronic applications, controller input costs are negligible and time optimality is of great importance to maximize the productivity by executing fast positioning maneuvers. As a result, the obtained control input has mostly a bang-bang nature, which excite undesired mechanical vibrations, especially in systems with flexible structures. This paper tackles the time-optimal control problem and proposes a novel approach, which explicitly addresses the vibrational behavior in the context of the receding horizon technique. Such technique is a key feature, especially for systems with a time-varying vibrational behavior. In the context of model predictive control (MPC), vibrational behavior is predicted and coped in a soft-constrained formulation, which penalize any violation of undesired vibrations. This formulation enlarges the feasibility on a wide operating range in comparison with a hard-constrained formulation. The closed-loop performance of this approach is demonstrated on a numerical example of stacker crane with high degree of flexibility.
