Cooperative Distributed Model Predictive Control for Embedded Systems: Experiments with Hovercraft Formations

ICRA 2025

This paper presents experiments for embedded cooperative distributed model predictive control applied to a team of hovercraft floating on an air hockey table. The hovercraft collectively solve a centralized optimal control problem in each sampling step via a stabilizing decentralized real-time itera
