Abstract
This paper presents a comparative analysis of a fractional-order proportional–integral–derivative (FO-PID) controller against the standard proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller, applied to a nonlinear robotic arm manipulator systems. The genetic algorithm (GA) optimization method was implemented to tune the gain parameters of the FO-PID and PID controllers. The performance of the FO-PID and PID controllers were evaluated though different cost functions, including integral of squared error (ISE), integral of absolute error (IAE), integral of time-weighted absolute error (ITAE), and integral of time-weighted squared error (ITSE). The performance of these controllers was examined via extensive simulations by using MATLAB/SIMULINK for different operating scenarios of the robotic arm manipulator system. Based on the obtained results, a comparative performance matrix is proposed, wherein cost functions ISE, IAE, ITAE, and ITSE are represented as columns while characteristic parameters (overshoot, rising time, and settling time) are represented as rows. The proposed performance matrix facilitates the selection between the PID and FO-PID controllers.
