Abstract
The authors present a genetic approach to the optimal linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problem. Design of the optimal LQR depends on choosing weighting matrices. One must carry out a trial-and-error process to choose the proper weighting matrices in general. It is not a trivial problem. They show a new possibility using a genetic algorithm (GA) to find the proper weighting matrices and hence to obtain the optimal control gain. They apply the approach to the attitude control of an inverted pendulum system, which is known as the LQR problem. They perform computer simulations on the system with a 50 cm long inverted pendulum and obtain good results.
