An assisting Model Predictive Controller approach to Control over the Cloud
For control engineers, it offers a method to offload MPC computations to the cloud while maintaining performance, but the results are simulated and incremental.
This paper develops a computational offloading strategy for Model Predictive Control using cloud and edge computing, enabling high-frequency control of cyber-physical systems with low computational burden.
In this paper we develop a computational offloading strategy with graceful degradation for executing Model Predictive Control using the cloud. Backed up by previous work we simulate the control of a cyber-physical-system at high frequency and illustrate how the system can be improved using the edge while keeping the computational burden low.
