The paper introduces A‑SLS, a learning‑aware robust adaptive model predictive control framework that forecasts future parameter uncertainty and preserves correlations among disturbances, parameter errors, and estimate updates to build tight reachable sets. It presents a GPU‑accelerated solver enabling real‑time performance on high‑dimensional systems, demonstrated on a quadruped with 61 states and a Crazyflie drone that learns dynamics online to stabilize during flight.
