Yuke Huang successfully defended her MSc Thesis titled Adaptive-Horizon Model Predictive Control for Modeling Anticipative Behavior in Cyclist Interaction on March 18, 2026. Yuke developed a cyclist navigation controller representing the cyclist's heading control loop using adaptive-horizon model predictive control. This adaptive-horizon element was introduced to capture a hypothesized change …

SymPy 1.13 and Opty 1.3 can now be used for optimal control solutions of muscle-driven biomechanical simulation. This blog post shows of a solution to a muscle driven cycling time trial.

Summary of the work performed under the Chan-Zuckerberg Foundation Open Source Software for Science Cycle 4 grant awarded to Sympy and performed by Delft University of Technology. We developed new biomechanics capabilities in SymPy and improved code generation performance for large mathematical expressions.
