Video Introduction

Model predictive control (MPC) approaches are widely used in robotics, because they guarantee feasibility and allow the computation of updated trajectories while the robot is moving. They generally require heuristic references for the tracking terms and proper tuning of the parameters of the cost function in order to obtain good performance. For instance, when a legged robot has to react to disturbances from the environment (e.g., to recover after a push) or track a specific goal with statically unstable gaits, the effectiveness of the algorithm can degrade.
