Bio-Inspired Jumping Spider Optimization for Controller Tuning/Parameter Estimation of an Uncertain Aerodynamic MIMO System by Ravi Samikannu, Oduetse Matsebe, David Ezekiel

“…In designing controllers for the Twin-Rotor MIMO System (TRMS), Jumping Spider Optimization Algorithm (JSOA), a novel neoteric population-based bio-inspired metaheuristic approach is used to obtain optimum values for the Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) controllers. With the k,p,i controller gains as the decision variables, the JSOA solution to a nonlinear multi-objective optimization problem subject to some intrinsic constraints spawned optimal values for the controllers’ variables. …”
