TOMPC

TOMPC (time optimal MPC) is a control technique developed within the MPC framework which minimizes the settling time of a system on a step reference. This technique is in detail described in [1]. The package consists of an implementation of this software in C++ and a control setup example in Simulink. Experimental validation of TOMPC on an overhead crane can be found here [2].

Newsflash

Two OPTEC professors have been awarded three "Gouden Krijtjes", the yearly teaching awards given by the organization of engineering students (vtk). Prof. Lombaert was awarded the prize for the best course in civil engineering, and Prof. Diehl the prizes for the best professor and the best course in mathematical engineering (where he teaches numerical optimization). They received these awards at the yearly "proffentap" where experienced students taught them how to draft beer professionally.
