SOLIDWORKS

Model Predictive Control Course using MATLAB & Simulink 
  • LENGTH: 12 Days (3 Weeks)
  • SCHEDULE: M - F, 9:00 - 17:00
  • DATES: 12-30 Jan 2025
  • LOCATION: To be Announced
  • COST: $200

Starting with foundational MATLAB skills, the program progresses to advanced topics such as nonlinear systems, MPC theory for both linear and nonlinear systems, and practical controller design using MATLAB & Simulink. Participants will learn to tune and evaluate MPC performance while gaining hands-on experience through simulations and real-world scenarios. The course concludes with a capstone project, where participants apply their knowledge to solve complex control challenges and showcase their solutions through presentations and peer reviews.
