The mpc_local_planner package implements a plugin to the base_local_planner of the 2D navigation stack. It provides a generic and versatile model predictive control implementation with minimum-time and quadratic-form receding-horizon configurations.
For custom build instructions (e.g. compilation with other third-party solvers) see this wiki.
