This study presents a new sampling‐based model predictive control minimizing reverse Kullback‐Leibler divergence to quickly find a local optimum. In addition, a modified Nesterov's acceleration method is introduced for faster convergence. The method is effective for real‐time simulations and real‐world operability improvement on a force‐driven mobile ...
