Abstract

We describe in this paper the optimization of the gains of a PID controller to stabilize the inertia wheel pendulum (IWP) using bio-inspired and evolutionary methods. Particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithms are used tond the optimal gain values of the PID controller. Computer simulations and experiments are presented showing the control results using the optimal gain values to stabilize the inertia wheel pendulum. Both particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithms (GAs) are shown to be effective tools for gain optimization of the inertia wheel.
