Abstract: Model predictive control (MPC) is a advanced control methodology widely accepted by both academics and industries. In this talk, nonlinear and robust MPC schemes will be presented based on feedforward and recurrent neural networks. To avoid the nonconvexity of problem formulation with nonlinear systems, the original nonconvex optimization problem associated with nonlinear MPC is first reformulated as a convex one by means of decomposition via Taylor expansion. An online supervised learning algorithm is initially developed for estimating the unknown residual term resulted from the decomposition. To save online computational time, offline supervised learning is also carried out based on feedforward neural networks for parameter estimation. The results are extended for robust MPC based on minimax and invariant-tube formulations. In addition, population-based collective neurodynamic optimization approach is developed for nonlinear MPC without linearization. The proposed neural network approaches have many desirable properties such as global convergence and low complexity. Simulation results of many examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and performance of the proposed approaches.
