## Features

**OpEn** is the counterpart of CVXGen for nonconvex problems.

- Fast nonconvex parametric optimization

- Numerical algorithm written in Rust

- Provably safe memory management

- Auto-generation of ROS packages

**OpEn** is ideal for:

- Embedded **Nonlinear Model Predictive Control**,

- Embedded **Nonlinear Moving Horizon Estimation** and their applications in 

- Robotics and Advanced Manufacturing Systems

- Autonomous vehicles

- Aerial Vehicles and Aerospace

## Demos

### Code generation

Code generation? Piece of cake!

**OpEn** generates parametric optimizer modules in Rust - it's blazingly fast - it's safe - it can run on embedded devices.

You can use the [MATLAB](https://alphaville.github.io/optimization-engine/docs/matlab-interface) or [Python interface](https://alphaville.github.io/optimization-engine/docs/python-interface) of OpEn to generate Rust code for your parametric optimizer.

This can then be called directly, using Rust, or, it can be consumed as a service over a socket.



You can generate a parametric optimizer in just very few lines of code and in no time.

OpEn allows application developers and researchers to focus on the challenges of the application, rather than the tedious task of solving the associated parametric optimization problems (as in nonlinear model predictive control).

### Embedded applications

OpEn can run on embedded devices; here we see it running on an intel Atom for the autonomous navigation of a lab-scale micro aerial vehicle - the controller runs at **20Hz** using only **15%** CPU!



## Parametric Problems

**OpEn** can solve nonconvex parametric optimization problems of the general form



where *f* is a smooth cost, *U* is a simple - possibly nonconvex - set, *F₁* and *F₂* are nonlinear smooth mappings and *C* is a convex set ([read more](https://alphaville.github.io/optimization-engine/docs/open-intro)).

## Code Generation Example

Code generation in **Python** in just a few lines of code (read the [docs](https://alphaville.github.io/optimization-engine/docs/python-examples) for details)

```python

import opengen as og

import casadi.casadi as cs

# Define variables

# ------------------------------------

u = cs.SX.sym("u", 5)

p = cs.SX.sym("p", 2)

# Define cost function and constraints

# ------------------------------------

phi = og.functions.rosenbrock(u, p)

f2 = cs.vertcat(1.5 * u[0] - u[1],

                cs.fmax(0.0, u[2] - u[3] + 0.1))

bounds = og.constraints.Ball2(None, 1.5)

problem = og.builder.Problem(u, p, phi) \

    .with_penalty_constraints(f2)       \

    .with_constraints(bounds)

    

# Configuration and code generation

# ------------------------------------

build_config = og.config.BuildConfiguration()  \

    .with_build_directory("python_test_build") \

    .with_tcp_interface_config()

meta = og.config.OptimizerMeta()

solver_config = og.config.SolverConfiguration()    \

    .with_tolerance(1e-5)                          \

    .with_constraints_tolerance(1e-4)

builder = og.builder.OpEnOptimizerBuilder(problem, meta,

                                          build_config, solver_config)

builder.build()

```

Code generation in a few lines of **MATLAB** code (read the [docs](https://alphaville.github.io/optimization-engine/docs/matlab-interface) for details)

```matlab

% Define variables

% ------------------------------------

u = casadi.SX.sym('u', 5);

p = casadi.SX.sym('p', 2);

% Define cost function and constraints

% ------------------------------------

phi = rosenbrock(u, p);

f2 = [1.5*u(1) - u(2);

      max(0, u(3)-u(4)+0.1)];

bounds = OpEnConstraints.make_ball_at_origin(5.0);

opEnBuilder = OpEnOptimizerBuilder()...

    .with_problem(u, p, phi, bounds)...

    .with_build_name('penalty_new')...

    .with_fpr_tolerance(1e-5)...

    .with_constraints_as_penalties(f2);

opEnOptimizer = opEnBuilder.build();

```
