A Deep Learning And Model Predictive Control Framework To Control Quadrotors And Agile Robots

Researchers at Technical University of Munich and University of Zürich have developed a new framework called Real-time Neural MPC, which integrates complex model architectures based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) in an MPC framework for agile robots (i.e., quadrotors). This concept builds on a previous approach developed by the University of Zurich’s Robotics and Perception Group and was presented in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters.
