Jing Xie graduated with a master’s degree in electrical engineering with a focus on automation and robotics at Technical University of Munich. He did an internship at Robert Bosch on in-car monitoring system using machine learning methods in Hildesheim. His master thesis was on tube-based incremental model predictive control for robot manipulators. His main research interest is learning-based MPC.

Project description

Machine Learning (ML) techniques, and in particular Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), are gaining a wide popularity in the control community in view of their ability to obtain, from plant data, models of complex dynamic systems, characterized by a strong nonlinear behavior. However, theoretical results related to control design methods, and in particular Model Predictive Control (MPC) based on RNN, are still needed and fundamental issues must be considered. Jing Xie focuses on developing learning-based control algorithms for industrial systems.
