The sample interval for control calculations is 25 milli-seconds and the associated non-convex constrained optimisation problem involves 61-variables with 241-constraints. Despite this being a challenging problem, it was solved online using a standard sequential quadratic programming approach on a modest hardware platform. The efficacy of the control algorithm is validated via experimental results. 2013-03-14T05:34:18.178Z ]]>
