This paper deals with design of PID controller with the use of methods of global optimization implemented in Matlab environment and Optimization Toolbox. It is based on minimization of a chosen integral criterion with respect to additional requirements on control quality such as overshoot, phase margin and limits for manipulated value. The objective function also respects user-defined weigh coefficients for its particular terms for a different penalization of individual requirements that often clash each other such as for example overshoot and phase margin. The described solution is designated for continuous linear time-invariant static systems up to 4th order and thus efficient for the most of real control processes in practice.
The generation of feasible trajectories poses an eminent task in the field of control design in mechanical systems. The paper demonstrates innovative approach in trajectory planning for mechanical systems via time-reversal symmetry. It also presents two case studies: mass-spring-damper and inverted pendulum on the cart. As real systems break the time-reversal symmetry, the authors of this work propose a unique method in order to overcome this drawback. It computes a feed-forward reference control signal and state trajectories. The proposed solution enables compensation for the effects of couplings, which break the time-symmetry by a special proposed measure. The method suppresses the overall open-loop accumulated error and produces high-quality favorable control and state trajectories. Furthermore, the existence of the designed control signal and state trajectories is guaranteed if the equations of the motion have a solution in the direct flow of time.
