arXiv:2606.24039v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robotics increasingly relies on GPUs for parallel simulation, large-scale learning, and neural-network inference. For model predictive control (MPC) to scale with this paradigm, solvers must run efficiently on this hardware while remaining fast, differentiable, and compatible with expressive MPC formulations used in robotics. We present TurboMPC, a differentiable MPC solver that runs entirely on the GPU and supports state and control inequality constraints, implicit integrators, cross-time-coupled costs, and slack variables. TurboMPC combines s
The increasing reliance on GPUs for AI and robotics applications, coupled with advancements in optimization algorithms, creates an imperative for MPC solvers to leverage this parallel processing power efficiently.
This development addresses a critical performance bottleneck for advanced robotics and autonomous systems, potentially accelerating the deployment of more capable and adaptive AI in real-world scenarios.
The ability to run complex Model Predictive Control entirely on GPUs makes real-time, differentiable, and constraint-aware control feasible for highly dynamic and complex robotic tasks, which was previously computationally prohibitive.
