We are authors of a new paper in the prestigious international scientific journal Computers & Chemical Engineering:

Peter Bakaráč - Michaela Horváthová - Lenka Galčíková - Juraj Oravec - Monika Bakošová: Approximated MPC for embedded hardware: Recursive random shooting approach

The paper presents a nearly-optimal control suitable for implementation on the embedded hardware with limited energy resources. The publisher Elsevier provides open access to new research articles for 50 days to help share the current results.

Dr. Martin Klaučo and Karol Kiš participated in the 18th IFAC Workshop on Control Applications of Optimization, which took place at Centrale Supélec, Paris-Saclay University on July, 18-22. Karol Kiš gave a lecture on:

Karol Kiš - Peter Bakaráč - Martin Klaučo: Nearly Optimal Tunable MPC Strategies on Embedded Platforms

and Dr. Martin Klaučo was the chairman of the session: Optimization-Based Applications.

Together with our colleagues from ShanghaiTech University, China and Automatic Control Laboratory, EPFL, Switzerland, we published a new research paper in the international scientific journal IEEE Control Systems Letters:

Jiahe Shi - Yuning Jiang - Juraj Oravec - Boris Houska: Parallel MPC for Linear Systems with State and Input Constraints

The paper presents a distributed MPC design method for systems with input and state constraints. The illustrative case study demonstrates the significant reduction of the runtimes necessary to solve the optimization problem compared to the conventional MPC design approach.

On June 24, IAM took a part in the CHEMSHOW - Open Door Day at the Faculty of Chemical and Food Technology STU in Bratislava.
