"Online"

This online workshop is part of a series of workshops organized by the project SPP 2364: Autonome Prozesse in der Partikeltechnik.

The workshop on Nonlinear Optimization and Direct Optimal Control for Practitioners is organized by Katrin Baumgärtner, Florian Messerer and Prof. Moritz Diehl. It consists of two parts:

  • 26.06.2023, 12:00-13:30 – Part 1: Nonlinear Optimization
  • 03.07.2023, 12:00-13:30 – Part 2: Direct Optimal Control and Model Predictive Control

The aim of this workshop is to give the participants some hands on experience on methods and in particular software for optimal control. The workshop exercises are based on python, CasADi, and acados.

In preparation of the workshop, please install python, CasADi and acados and make sure the minimal examples run properly. Installation instructions can be found on the exercise sheet.
