| Summary: | This study investigates the application of proportional–integral–derivative (PID) control enhanced with an optimized particle swarm optimization (OPSO)-type neural network (NN) to improve the control performance of a pneumatic servo system. Traditional PID methods struggle with inherent nonlinearities in pneumatic servo systems. To address this limitation, we integrate two OPSO-type NNs within the PID framework, thereby developing a robust control strategy that compensates for these nonlinear characteristics. The OPSO-type NNs are particularly efficient in solving complex optimization problems without requiring differential information, demonstrating superior simplicity and efficacy compared to traditional methods, such as genetic algorithms. In our approach, one of the OPSO-type NNs is utilized to tune the PID controller gains, while the other adjusts the control output. The experimental results show that the proposed method enhances the position control accuracy of the pneumatic servo system. Furthermore, this approach holds promise for improving the responsiveness, stability, and disturbance suppression capabilities of pneumatic systems, paving the way for advanced control applications in this field. |
