CMU Research Introduces CoVO-MPC (Covariance-Optimal MPC): A Novel Sampling-based MPC Algorithm that Optimizes the Convergence Rate
Model Predictive Control (MPC) has become a key technology in a number of fields, including power systems, robotics, transportation, and process control. Sampling-based MPC has shown effectiveness in applications such as path planning and control, and it is useful as a subroutine in Model-Based Reinforcement Learning (MBRL), all because of its versatility and parallelizability, Despite…
