It combines trajectory generation and tracking into one receding-horizon optimal control problem. In this paper, we discuss MPFC without terminal constraints from a geometric point of view. Specifically, we consider implicitly parameterized paths and the recently introduced notion of manifold turnpikes to propose sufficient conditions for practical convergence of the system output towards a neighborhood of the reference path. We draw upon a simulation example to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed scheme.enTechnology::600: TechnologyConference Paper10.1109/CDC56724.2024.10885821Conference Paper
