An off-line approach for output feedback robust model predictive control

For constrained linear parameter varying systems subject to bounded disturbances and noises, this article investigates an off-line output feedback robust model predictive control approach. The sub-observer gains with robust positively invariant sets, and sub-controller gains with robust control invariant sets are simultaneously off-line optimized and stored in a look-up table. According to real-time estimation error bounds and estimated states, the time-varying sub-observer gains and sub-controller gains are on-line searched. The proposed off-line output feedback robust model predictive control approach with the guarantee of nested robust positively invariant sets and robust control invariant sets in theory reduces the on-line computational burden.
