class MPCController : public ControllerMethodBase

A MPC Controller.

Public Functions

MPCController()
~MPCController() override

Destructor.

void on_initialize() override

Initializes parameters and MPC controller.

Throws:

std::runtime_error – if initialization fails.

void update_rt(NavState &nav_state) override

Updates the controller using the given NavState.

Parameters:

nav_state – Current navigation state, including odometry and planned path.

void publish_mpc_path(void *data, const std::vector<double> &best_path, nav_msgs::msg::Path path)

Publishes the selected path by MPC controller.

Parameters:

  • data – MPCParameters object as data pointer

  • best_path – Vector of velocities generated by MPC

  • path – Path obtained from navstate

void collision_checker(void *data, std::vector<double> &u)

Check if there is a possible collision.

Parameters:

  • data – MPCParameters object as data pointer

  • u – Vector of velocities generated by MPC
