Model Predictive Control of a Ball and Plate laboratory model

Abstract

The papers presents an implementation of the predictive state space control algorithm, called Model Predictive Control (MPC). This control algorithm is verified on the Ball and Plate laboratory model, called B&P_KYB, for the reference trajectory tracking. The control algorithm is first verified using the derived nonlinear simulation model in Matlab/Simulink. Since simulation results are acceptable, an experiment is realized on the real laboratory model. The results of the experiment are demonstrated as the time response of the ball position and the voltage.
