This paper proposes the Fictitious Reference Iterative Tuning-Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO-FRIT) method to design PID controllers for control systems. The proposed method is an offline PID parameter tuning method and it is not necessary to derive any mathematical models of objected control systems. The proposed method is demonstrated by comparing with the FRIT method in numerical examples. ...

This chapter presents the design, development and implementation of a novel proposed online-tuning Gain Scheduling Dynamic Neural PID (DNN-PID) Controller using neural network suitable for real-time manipulator control applications. The unique feature of the novel DNN-PID controller is that it has highly simple and dynamic self-organizing structure, fast online-tuning speed, good generalization...

Proportional + Integral + Derivative (PID) controllers are widely used in engineering applications such that more than half of the industrial controllers are PID controllers. There are many methods for tuning the PID parameters in the literature. In this paper an intelligent technique based on eXtended Classifier System (XCS) is presented to tune the PID controller parameters. The PID controlle...

The studies in UAV modeling and control have been increased rapidly recently. This paper presents the modeling and control of a four rotor vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned air vehicle known as quadrotor aircraft. The modeling of the quadrotor will be described by using Euler-Newton equations. In order to stable the quadrotor and control the attitude of that, classical PID controlle...

Major advances that improve control in the process industry have been made over the last ten years in the basic PID technology of modern distributed control systems. This paper addresses the impact that international standards have on control implementation and the tools utilized in industry for monitoring and commissioning PID control. Examples are used to illustrate how new technologies, such...

This paper addresses an approximation-based anti-windup (AW) control strategy for suppressing the windup effect caused by actuator saturation nonlinearity in proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controlled systems. The effect of actuator constraint is firstly regarded as a disturbance imported to the PID controller. The external disturbance can then be modeled by a linear differential equatio...

Fractional order PID controller has two degrees of freedom more than the integer order PID controller,and it has better control performance. The paper briefly describes the fractional order PID controller, and through Ziegler-Nichols type tuning rules, Padula & Visioli tuning rules and tuning by minimization methods to achieve fractional order PID controllers respectively. Additionally, the Ous...
