Software for efficient LMI-based robust MPC design

Abstract

Robust MPC is an advanced control strategy to optimize control performance subject to the constraints of the system inputs/outputs and in the presence of bounded disturbance. The paper presents novel MATLAB/Simulink MUP toolbox for on-line robust MPC design using LMIs. Software MUP represents an efficient and user-friendly tool. Therefore it is recommended to use this toolbox especially for educational purposes oriented on advanced process control. An illustrative case study of robust MPC design of the open-loop unstable system was investigated to demonstrate the basic features of the presented software.
