mpc_tracker_ros

Motion Controller for trajectory tracking Using Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (MPC) with C/GMRES Method.

Control target: two-wheel differential drive mobile robot

Outputted control input: twist.x and twist.yaw

Requirements

Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04
gcc 7.50 or higher
cmake 3.0.2 or higher
ROS Melodic or Noetic

Third Party

Eigen3
C/GMRES Solver
CSV Writer (for offline simulation)
CSV Parser (for offine simulation)
matplotlib-cpp (for offline simulation)

Pre-Installation

sudo apt update

sudo apt install libeigen3-dev

sudo apt install -y python-catkin-pkg python-rosdep ros-$ROS_DISTRO-catkin

sudo apt install -y python3-colcon-common-extensions

sudo apt install python3-matplotlib, python3-numpy

How to Build

mkdir ~catkin_ws/src -p

cd catkin_ws/src

git clone git@github.com:kohonda/mpc_tracker_ros.git

cd ..

rosdep update

rosdep install -y --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO

colcon build --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

How to test by offline simulation

cd catkin_ws/src

./mpc_tracker_ros/scripts/offline_simulation.sh

Then, start simulation with real-time plot and get the simulation result at mpc_tracker_ros/simulation/simulation_result/result.csv after termination.

How to launch ROS node

cd catkin_ws

source install/setup.bash

roslaunch mpc_tracker mpc_tracker.launch
