In this paper, a methodology for estimating the model parameters of a discrete-time system and tuning a digital PID controller based on the estimated model and a genetic algorithm is presented. To deal with optimization problems regarding parameter estimation and controller tuning, pseudo-parallel genetic algorithms(PPGAs) are used. The parameters of a discrete-time system are estimated using both the model adjustment technique and a PPGA. The digital PID controller is described by the pulse transfer function and then its three gains are tuned based on both the model reference technique and another PPGA. A set of experimental works on two processes are carried out to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.

This paper proposes a design method of PID controllers in the framework of a constrained optimization problem. Owing to the popularity for the controller's simplicity and robustness, a great deal of literature concerning PID control design has been published, which can be classified into frequency-based and time-based approaches. However, both approaches have to be considered together for a designed PID control to work well with a guaranteed closed-loop stability. For this purpose, a penalty function is formulated to satisfy both frequency- and time-domain specifications, and is minimized by a recet nonlinear optimization algorithm to attain optimal PID control gains. The proposed method is compared with Wang's and Ho's methods on a suite of example systems. Simulation results show that the PID control tuned by the proposed method improves time-domain performance without deteriorating closed-loop stability.

This paper describes the application of a fuzzy-tuning PID controller to a 3-DOF attitude control of a small model helicopter in hover for the compensation of coupling effects between each axis and system uncertainties due to the variation of engine RPM. A Low-level PID controller is designed by Ziegler-Nichols method and its gains are tuned by a high-level fuzzy system based on error states and its time derivatives. The experimental results show that the attitude control performance of fuzzy-tuning PID controller is improved comparing with that of a Ziegler-Nichols PID controller and fuzzy controller.

This work proposes a controller tuning method of a Hyundai 8608 robot in order to improve its performance. For this, we analyzed the control structure of the robot, and the functions of all the adjustable parameters in the robot controller with a reference 'NACHI Technical Report'. Through the analysis, we found out that 3 important parameters(VRRL, VRF, VRGIN) act like a conventional PID gains and other parameters are closely related to these 3 parameters. Conclusively, parameter tuning of these 3 parameters is enough in most cases of applications with other parameters fixed. The conventional PID tuning is performed to each joint of the test robot with Robot Performance Evaluation System(shown in our companion paper) so that the acceptable gain ranges for each joint are determined and then the robot performance tests are repeatedly done with the combination of the acceptable gains. Finally, the best combination is selected for its best performance. For the effectiveness of the proposed method, it was implemented on a Hyundai 8608 robot and its results are compared with the results of NACHI's Semi-Auto Tuning Method and the results which are done by a tuning expert with his eyes.

In this paper, a gain scheduling method of PID controller is proposed using fuzzy logic for balancing control of an inverted pendulum. First, gains of PID controller are calculated using pole-placement technique for the linearized model of an inverted pendulum and these gains are modified by fuzzy logic throughout control operations. A PD controller is used by switching near the set-point to improve the performance. It is illustrated by simulations that the proposed hybrid fuzzy control method yidels smaller rising time and overshoot compared to the fixed-gain PID controller or fuzzy logic-based only PID controller.

This paper describes a Neural Network based PID control scheme for pneumatic NC axes. Pneumatic systems have inherent nonlinearities such as compressibility of air and nonlinear frictions present in cylinder. The conventional PID controller is limited in some applications where the affection of nonlinear factor is dominant. A self-excited oscillation method is applied to derive the dynamic design parameters of linear model. The gains of PID controller are determined using a self tuning scheme. The experiments of a trajectory tracking control using the proposed control scheme are performed and a significant reduction in tracking error is achieved by comparing with those of a PID control.

Genetic algorithm is well known for stochastic searching method in imitating natural phenomena. In recent times, studies have been conducted in improving conventional evolutionary computation speed and promoting precision. This paper presents an approach to optimize PID controller gains with the application of modified Genetic Algorithm using Support Vector Machine (SVMGA). That is, we aim to explore optimum parameters of PID controller using SVMGA. Simulation results are given to compare to those of tuning methods, based on Simple Genetic Algorithm and Ziegler-Nicholas tuning method.

This paper suggests the simple form of a fuzzy PID controller and describes the design principle, tracking performance, stability analysis and changes of parameters of a suggested fuzzy PID controller. A fuzzy PID controller is derived from the design procedure of fuzzy control. It is well known that a fuzzy PID controller has a simple structure of the conventional PID controller but posses its self-tuning control capability and the gains of a fuzzy PID controller become nonlinear functions of the inputs. Nonlinear calculation during fuzzification, defuzzification and the fuzzy inference require more time in computation. To increase the applicability of a fuzzy PID controller to digital computer, a simple form of a fuzzy PID controller is introduced by the backward difference mapping and the analysis of the fuzzy input space. To guarantee the BIBO stability of a suggested fuzzy PID controller, ‘small gain theorem’ which proves the BIBO stability of a fuzzy PI and a fuzzy PD controller is used. After a detailed stability analysis using ‘small gain theorem’, from which a simple and practical method to decide the parameters of a fuzzy PID controller is derived. Through the computer simulations for the linear and nonlinear plants, the performance of a suggested fuzzy PID controller will be assured and the variation of the gains of a fuzzy PID controller will be investigated.

Evolution Strategy is searching algorithm which imitate the principles of natural evolution as a method to solve parameter optimization problem and easy to use without any other special mathematical theory. Through the simulation of the speed control of a series-connected de motor, our proposed method shows more improved performance by finding optimal parameters of PID controller than a classical Ziegler-Nichols method.

This paper describes an autotuning fuzzy PID controller for a position control of DC serve motor. Because ZNM(Ziegler-Nichols Method) with relay feedback has the difficulty in re-tuning the PID parameters and adaptive method has complex algorithm, a new method to overcome those problems is required. The proposed scheme determines the initial PID gains by using ZNM with relay feedback, and then re-tunes the optimal PID parameters by using fuzzy expert system whenever control conditions are changed. To show the validity of the proposed method, a position control of DC servo motor is illustrated by computer simulation and is experimented by a designed controller.
