Abstract

Abstract: We implement a prototype for an application of automatic optical material testing in the manufacturing of glass panels. Based on a nonlinear optimal control approach, we present a numerical method for optimal control at run time. The algorithm will be demonstrated and tested with the help of an illustrative example where it turns out that the optimal control is of bang-bang or bang-zero-bang type, depending on the state constraints.
