About The Project

We provide an MATLAB implementation of implicit dual control-based active uncertainty learning for autonomous driving applications, which can be found here.

Dependencies

Trajectory Optimization

• MPT3 (Toolbox for MPC and parametric optimization.)
• SNOPT (Nonlinear programming solver. Academic licenses are available.)

Visualization

• Robotics Toolbox for MATLAB (Tools for plotting the vehicles. You need to first install it in MATLAB and then replace plot_vehicle.m in the root directory with ours.)

Example

In this repository, we provide an example of our method applied for human-robot interactive driving scenarios.

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/SafeRoboticsLab/Dual_Control_HRI.git

2. In MATLAB, run the main.m script to reproduce our results.
