  1. null (Ed.)
    This paper presents a multirotor control architecture, where Model Predictive Path Integral Control (MPPI) and ℒ 1 adaptive control are combined to achieve both fast model predictive trajectory planning and robust trajectory tracking. MPPI provides a framework to solve nonlinear MPC with complex cost functions in real-time. However, it often lacks robustness, especially when the simulated dynamics are different from the true dynamics. We show that the ℒ 1 adaptive controller robustifies the architecture, allowing the overall system to behave similar to the nominal system simulated with MPPI. The architecture is validated in a simulated multirotor racing environment.
