首个支持批量求解的GPU非线性规划工具，让机器人优化提速32倍

Many robotics problems, including trajectory optimization, inverse kinematics, and contact-rich motion planning, reduce to nonlinear programs (NLPs). Mature NLP solvers such as IPOPT can solve these problems, offering hard constraint satisfaction, optimality guarantees, and favorable scaling with problem dimension. These solvers underpin gradient-based methods in robotics, yet remain CPU-bound and solve only one problem at a time, preventing their integration into GPU-batched learning pipelines. On the other hand, sampling-based approaches such as reinforcement learning, model predictive path integral, and imitation learning have become the core of modern robotics research due to their ability to leverage GPU-batched simulators. These simulators can generate orders of magnitude more dynamics rollouts per second than was previously possible. If a GPU-batched NLP solver existed, it would unlock similar speedups in the number of constrained, locally optimal solutions generated per second. This regime of solving many problems concurrently versus solving a single problem at a time is a key requirement for integrating NLP solvers in modern GPU-batched robotics frameworks. To this end, we introduce \texttt{jaxipm}, the first GPU-batched NLP solver, based on IPOPT, and implemented in JAX. We accomplish this by redesigning IPOPT's algorithm to eliminate control flow with \textit{heterogeneous iteration fusion}, and by minimizing GPU idle time with \textit{iteration level batching}. We evaluate \texttt{jaxipm} on a variety of quadrotor nonlinear model predictive control benchmarks, including reference tracking in the presence of obstacles, multi-quadrotor navigation without collision, and navigation in a cluttered environment. We demonstrate up to a $32.85\times$ increase in throughput over IPOPT. Our complete open-source codebase is available at https://github.com/johnviljoen/jaxipm.
