Hi everyone!
In this video you will learn the basics of MPC and how to put together a quick simulation in Python without using any optimization toolboxes and solvers, so you can learn the process from scratch. Note that if you're using a version of Python which is not 3.7, then you may need to change the syntax. Numpy, scipy and matplotlib will be needed.
The MPC algorithm used will be the efficient MPC algorithm originally developed by P.W. Gibbens and E.D. Medagoda at the University of Sydney. This algorithm is a little less complex than the standard integral action MPC methods, however the underlying concept is identical in all methods of model predictive control.
Thanks for watching!
Sorry for the delay in uploads, as I am moving cities and just graduated from University!

The project code is not accessible through the provided link. Could you share where to find it?

[@Qaidi_804]

Hi VD, Thanks for such a nice lecture. The Github code link is not working, can you update it please. Secondly, I want to implement MPC to a real system (Piezo Electric Actuator), can i use python but I am not sure how i will update my input and output everytime? Like in case of Matlab usually researchers used NI DAQ Board etc for communication, Is that possible with Python?

[@syahrulmaulanaw6965]

Hi, VD, may I ask a question, why you use the the Y_pred and not the del_Y for the output? Doesn't this not make the controller valid in terms of implementing it into a real plant?

Your videos are very helpful for engineering students. It's a wonderful service you are providing stay blessed always.

Hi..are you familiar of predictive model using Cosine?

[@darkknight700]

First of all, I congratulate you on your very rare content. Secondly, I would like to ask you about something. I am looking for a ready-made model for a smart short-range missile that I want to build and display in my graduation project. I did not find sources for such a thing. Can you help me?

I charge $45 an hour. You can message me on instagram or email me at [e-mail]

Thank you very much Can you share the code for this project?? Since the link in description isn't working..

Bro please update Aerospike nozzle boundary conditions Its not clear in that video bro

I don't do cfd anymore

First of all, thank you so much for the nice effort and teaching these topics,,it would be nice if you give a brief explanation of "How to code MPC with constraints in MATLAB specially when it comes to system constraint i.e x(k+1) = A*x(k) + B*u(k) (as a constraint) then how can you program that in MATLAB", secondly, How can one use the custom Mpc (not the built-in mpc toolbox ) in Simulink for some project" ? Hope you don't mind in answering these and do some positive to make videos on the aforementioned topics. Good day

[@VDEngineering]

Hey. Yes thank you. The code actualy does exactly what your first question is asking inside the while loop. I am not a fan of using toolboxes. The custom toolbox may be for nonlinear systems which I don't have experience in as well.

[@bilalsadiq3495]

@@VDEngineering Hi ,,Can you please make a proper implementation of mpc with some "reference tracking in which we have to calculate the error on every time step and then use quadprog for optimization ,,using MATLAB" .?

[@mohano9093]

U can use adaptive PID controller for this

[@amr.a-m8350]

thank you , you are great I would like to ask you about something. Could you please help to explore MPC by code MATLAB Implementation if available?

[@Qaidi_804]

Please if you have any experience with MPC implementation I need your some help

[@mahak1602]

Thanks alot for these amazing videos. Could you please help me with this problem? How can I use a neural network as a prediction model in MPC .can you make a video about this ? And also coding 🙏🙏🙏🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@VDEngineering]

Thanks:), I don't do machine learning sorry

[@Qaidi_804]

Dear Mahak, Did you used Neural Network MPC as you mentioned? I am now dealing with that stuff. I need your help.
