contents Distributed parameter systems (DPS) are formulated as partial differential equations (PDE). Especially, under time-varying boundary conditions, PDE introduce force coupling. In the case of the flexible stacker crane (STC), nonlinear coupling is introduced. Accordingly, online trajectory planning and tracking can be addressed using a nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC). However, due to the high computational demands of a NMPC, this paper discusses a possibility of embedding nonlinearities inside a linear parameter varying (LPV) system and thus make a use of a numerically low-demanding linear MPC. The resulting mismatches are treated as parametric and additive uncertainties in the context of robust tube-based MPC (TMPC). For the proposed approach, most of the computations are carried out offline. Only a simple convex quadratic program (QP) is conducted online. Additionally a soft-constrained extension was briefly proposed. Simulation results are used to illustrate the good performance, closed-loop stability and recursive feasibility of the proposed approach despite uncertainties.
