This paper describes a completely automatic way to implement an MPC controller on embedded hardware starting from a dynamic model in \ml. The resultant controller runs stand-alone on the embedded hardware, is extremely fast, exhibits a modest memory footprint and best of all, requires no particular embedded programming experience from the user.Copyright © 2012 IEEE.
