 ## Overview
-This is an optimal control solver library using constrained differential dynamic programming (CDDP) written in C++ based on Xie's [paper](https://zhaomingxie.github.io/projects/CDDP/CDDP.pdf). This library is particularly useful for mobile robot trajectory optimization and model predictive control (MPC).
