Combining efficient and safe control for safetycritical systems is challenging. Robust methods may be overly conservative, whereas probabilistic controllers require a tradeoff between efficiency and safety. In this work, we propose a safety algorithm that is compatible with any stochastic Model Predictive Control method for linear systems with additive uncertainty and polytopic constraints. This safety algorithm allows to use the optimistic control inputs of stochastic Model Predictive Control as long as a safe backup planner can ensure safety with respect to satisfying hard constraints subject to bounded uncertainty. Besides ensuring safe behavior, the proposed stochastic Model Predictive Control algorithm guarantees recursive feasibility and input-to-state stability of the system origin. The benefits of the safe stochastic Model Predictive Control algorithm are demonstrated in a numerical simulation, highlighting the advantages compared to purely robust or stochastic predictive controllers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
