## Nonlinear Model Predictive Control for differential drive

#### Workflow

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/winwinashwin/GA-aided-NMPC-tuning/master/assets/001.jpg)

**Setup** :

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Define length of prediction horizon, _N_, and duration of each timestep, _dt_.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Define vehicle dynamics and actuator limitations along with other constraints.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Define cost function

**Loop** :

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Pass current state as initial state to model predictive controller.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Call the optimization solver (_Ipopt_ in our case). It will return a vector of control inputs that minimizes the cost function.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Apply first control input to vehicle.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Back to 1

## Genetic Algorithm

### Parameters used

### Description

- Each genome represents a set of MPC weights.

- Each genome(weight set) is then used in a MPC control loop for **300** iterations and the variation of Cross track error, orientation errors and other parameters are noted.

- The **fitness function** is just the inverse of **_weighted average of the Integral Time Absolute Error (ITAE) of the errors and energy loss of the robot (both translational and rotational)_**

```cpp
double ITAE1 = 0.0, ITAE2 = 0.0, ITAE3 = 0.0;
double EL1 = 0.0, EL2 = 0.0;

const double w1 = 4.0;
const double w2 = 3.0;
const double w3 = 2.0;
const double w4 = 2.0;
const double w5 = 2.0;

for (size_t i = 0; i < iterations; i++)
{

ITAE1 += (i + 1) * abs(performance.cteData[i]);
    ITAE2 += (i + 1) * abs(performance.ethetaData[i]);
    ITAE3 += (i + 1) * abs(performance.velocityErrorData[i]);

EL1 += abs(performance.translationalEnergyLoss[i]);
    EL2 += abs(performance.rotationalEnergyLoss[i]);
}

fitness += 10000 * (w1 + w2 + w3 + w4 + w5) / (w1 * ITAE1 + w2 * ITAE2 + w3 * ITAE3 + w4 * EL1 + w5 * EL2);

```

- Data of the best genome in each generation is stored in JSON format and is later used to visualise the learning process

#### Interactive Decision Tree Algorithm

- The weights used in the fitness function to calculate the weighted average is determined using a **Interactive Decision Tree** approach.The decision tree provides a decision support tool for the selection of weights that can improve the objective function. It prompts for the operator response to determine the improvements in the performance metrics. The response-based interaction reduces the manual overhead and also has the potential to capture expert knowledge. Thus, the integration of expert knowledge with GA can guarantee convergence and provide optimal MPC tuning.

- Initially, the weights for individual metrics (w i ) in the objective function are distributed uniformly.

- The MPC weights are tuned using this objective function. The objective of the GA is to determine the MPC weights that minimize the fitness function with uniform weighted metrics.

- After each generation, The performance improvement in these metrics for GA determined MPC weights are evaluated. The algorithm interacts with the operator to determine the weakly improved metrics.

- If all the metrics are improved to the satisfactory level of the operator, then the operator selects none of the metrics and will terminate the algorithm.

## Performance and Learning process
