This paper presents an approach where the Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is employed to get optimum PID controller parameters to control of a SCARA robot. PSO is an evolutionary technique which is originated from swarm intelligence. A practical application of the PSO-PID controller is performed with the system dynamics. A simulation study is also included with the proposed controller by usin...

The effectiveness of a beam-riding missile is greatly influenced by the mutual effect of noise and non-linearities. The former is mostly due to radar jitter, while the principal non-linearity is that introduced by limiting the lateral acceleration of the missile to a safe value. For the beam-riding system discussed in this paper the degree of saturation is such that the linear analysis is inade...
