The Use of Genetic Algorithm for PID Controller Auto-Tuning in ARM CORTEX M4 Platform

It is known that the Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) controller is still the most used control device in the industry, due to its efficiency, ease of implementation and wide applicability. However, the controller tuning also presents some difficulties. Within this context, this work presents a practical implementation for PID controller auto-tuning using genetic algorithms embedded in the ARM Cortex microcontroller. The results showed efficient applicability for the controlled system.
