CasadiMPCNode ROS2 Package

This package implements a Model Predictive Control (MPC) node using CasADi for optimization in a ROS2 environment.

Prerequisites

• ROS2 (tested with Humble)
• Python 3.10+
• CasADi
• NumPy

Installation

1. Create a ROS2 workspace if you haven't already:

   mkdir -p ~/ros2_ws/src
   cd ~/ros2_ws/src
   

2. Clone this package into your workspace:

   git clone https://github.com/astomodynamics/casadi_mpc.git
   

3. Install the required Python packages:

   cd casadi_mpc
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Build the ROS2 package:

   cd ~/ros2_ws
   colcon build --packages-select casadi_mpc
   

5. Source the setup file:

   source ~/ros2_ws/install/setup.bash
   

Usage

1. Run the CasadiMPCNode:

   ros2 run casadi_mpc casadi_mpc
   

2. The node subscribes to the /robot_pose topic for state updates, the /goal_pose topic for goal updates, and publishes control inputs to the /cmd_vel topic.

Customization

• Adjust MPC parameters in the CasadiMPCNode.__init__ method.
• Modify the system model in setup_mpc method to match your specific use case.
