The workshop was based on the open source project CasADi, and presented theory and methods around formulation and numerical solution of various types of optimization problems appearing within control, planning and estimation in nonlinear dynamical systems.
The workshop was led by Dr Joris Gillis, KU Leuven, who is one of the developers of CasADi. The workshop was a mix of lectures presenting the theory and hands‐on exercises where problems are solved using CasADI.
The workshop was attended by over 40 participants from both academic and industrial partners of the competence center.

12:00‐13:15 Lunch
13:15‐16:00 Collocation methods ‐ exercise on inverted pendulum Model predictive control (MPC) ‐ exercise on tacking MPC
