Robots have gotten exceptionally good at specialized tasks—vacuuming floors, stacking boxes, welding parts, or navigating controlled warehouses. Yet the dream ...

Economic Model Predictive Control (EMPC) represents an evolution of traditional control strategies, where the primary objective is to directly optimise an economic cost function rather than merely ...

Explore how vision-language-action models like Helix, GR00T N1, and RT-1 are enabling robots to understand instructions and act autonomously.

Author Dr. R. Russell Rhinehart discusses his new book, Nonlinear Model-Based Control: Using First-Principles Models in Process Control, and explains why nonlinear first-principles models should be ...

It’s not, “You say ‘tomato’ and I say ‘tomahto.’ ” With advanced process controls (APCs), you either know what they are or you don’t. If you do know, you know they give for-real, money-in-your-pocket ...

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a modern feedback law that generates the control signal by solving an optimal control problem at each sampling time. This approach is capable of maximizing a certain ...
