Control engineering problems are generally multi-objective problems; meaning that there
are several specifications and requirements that must be fulfilled. A traditional approach for …

In this paper, an optimal gain tuning method for PID controllers is proposed using a novel
combination of a simplified Ant Colony Optimization algorithm and Nelder–Mead method …

Control engineering is the engineering discipline that refers to the use of automatic control.
This discipline has been intensively enlarging over the past decades due to technological …

The automatic voltage regulator (AVR) system has received much interest in the last decade.
Efforts are made to find a parameter set for proportional–integral–derivative based (PID) …

Servo systems are feedback control systems characterized by position, speed, and/or
acceleration outputs. Nowadays, industrial advances make the electronic stages in these …

The growth in usage of efficient mobile robots in engineering has motivated the search for
new alternatives to improve the control tuning task. In this article, Cartesian space …

Preference articulation in multi-objective optimization could be used to improve the
pertinency of solutions in an approximated Pareto front. That is, computing the most …

In this paper, we propose tuning rules for one degree-of-freedom proportional-integral-
derivative controllers, by considering important aspects such as the trade-off in the …

Multi-objective optimisation design procedures have shown to be a valuable tool for control
engineers. They enable the designer having a close embedment of the tuning process for a …

In this paper we present a new method for tuning Proportional Integral (PI) controllers from
experimental data obtained through an open loop step test over the process to be controlled …
