| contents | This paper discusses discretization methods for implementing nonlinear model predictive controllers using Iterative Linear Quadratic Regulator (ILQR). Finite-difference approximations are mostly used to derive a discrete-time state equation from the original continuous-time model. However, the timestep of the discretization is sometimes restricted to be small to suppress the approximation error. In this paper, we propose to use the variational equation for deriving linearizations of the discretized system required in ILQR algorithms, which allows accurate computation regardless of the timestep. Numerical simulations of the swing-up control of an inverted pendulum demonstrate the effectiveness of this method. By the relaxing stringent requirement for the size of the timestep, the use of the variational equation can improve control performance by increasing the number of ILQR iterations possible at each timestep in the realtime computation. |
