Project overview

01

Derive nonlinear state-space dynamics for an inverted pendulum from first-principles mechanics and build a custom RK4 physics simulation engine.

02

Formulate a discrete-time nonlinear model predictive controller in CasADi to solve constrained real-time optimization problems.

03

Enforce state and input limits in preparation for hardware deployment.
