Draft:Acados
free software for optimal control
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
acados is a free and open source software framework for nonlinear model predictive control and moving horizon estimation[2][3][4]. It implements the sequential quadratic programming method, and it relies on existing open-source solvers to solve the underlying quadratic programs, like HPIPM (Q134395572) or qpOASES (Q134395611). It uses CasADi symbolic framework to define the problem equations and to compute their derivatives through automatic differentiation. The library acados and its dependencies are designed to target problems arising in optimal control and trajectory optimization which have a specific structure. The software can be used directly from C or from its higher-level interface where the user can define the problem in Python or Matlab and an equivalent problem specification in C is automatically generated via a Template processor. It was influenced by ACADO Toolkit (Q134452070), from which the name is inspired. While ACADO is a code-generation tool, acados uses code-generation only for derivatives and interfaces and is thus optional.

There are records of its adoption mostly in academia. It has been used on range of different embedded control applications like wheeled vehicles[5], autonomous drones[6][7][8], autonomous water taxis[9], legged locomotion[10], electric motor[11] and wind turbine [12] A notable use in industry is by the semi-automated driving startup comma.ai which uses acados inside its product openpilot.[13]
