HILO-MPC is a Python toolbox for **easy, flexible and fast realization of machine-learning-supported optimal control, and 
estimation problems** developed mainly at the [Control and Cyber-Physical Systems Laboratory, TU Darmstadt](https://www.ccps.tu-darmstadt.de), and the [Laboratory for Systems Theory and Control, Otto von Guericke University](http://ifatwww.et.uni-magdeburg.de/syst/). It can be used for model predictive control, moving horizon estimation, Kalman filters, solving optimal control problems and has interfaces to embedded model predictive control tools.

HILO-MPC can interface directly to [TensorFlow](https://www.tensorflow.org/) and [PyTorch](https://pytorch.org/)
to create machine learning models and the [CasADi](https://web.casadi.org/) framework to efficiently
build control and estimation problems. The machine learning models can be used (almost) everywhere in the setup
of these problems. 

![plot](docs/docsource/images/overview.svg)

Currently the following machine learning models are supported:

- Feedforward neural networks
- Gaussian processes
 
The following machine learning models are currently under development:
 
- Bayesian neural network
- Recurrent neural network

At the moment the following MPC and optimal control problems can be solved:

- Reference tracking nonlinear MPC
- Trajectory tracking nonlinear MPC
- Path following nonlinear MPC
- Economic nonlinear MPC
- Linear MPC
- Traditional optimal control problems

All the nonlinear MPCs support soft constraints, time-variant systems, time-varying parameters and can be used to solve 
minimum-time problems. They work for continuous-time and discrete-time models, in DAE or ODE form. Linear MPC is currently limited towards discrete-time models. 

A rich set of [examples](https://github.com/hilo-mpc/examples) is available, spanning:
- NMPC for bioreactors using hybrid first principle and learned models
- Trajectory tracking and path following model predictive control with learning and obstacle avoidance
- Output feedback MPC of a continuous stirred tank reactor with a Gaussian process prediction model
- Learning NMPC control using a neural network
- Simple LQR, PID 
- Moving horizon estimation, extended Kalman filter, unscented Kalman filter, and particle filter for a continuous stirred tank reactor
