RETRACTED ARTICLE: On Comparing the Performance of Swarm-Based Algorithms with Human-Based Algorithm for Nonlinear Systems

This paper exploits various meta-heuristic optimization techniques to learn PID controller parameters for nonlinear systems. The nonlinear systems considered here are well known ball and beam, inverted pendulum, and robotic arm manipulator. The gain parameters of the controllers are optimized by using two categories of meta-heuristic optimization techniques—swarm-based grasshopper optimization algorithm and particle swarm optimization and...
