In this paper, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) method is proposed to design Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) control. This method minimizes a proposed cost function subject to appropriate robust stability and performance QFT constraints. The PSO algorithm is simple and easy to implement, and can be used to automate the loop shaping procedures of the standard QFT. The proposed method is applied to the high uncertainty pneumatic servo actuator system as an example to illustrate the design procedure of the proposed algorithm. The proposed method is compared with the standard QFT control. The results show that the superiority of the proposed method in that it can achieve the same robustness requirements of standard QFT control with simple structure and low order controller.

PID controller of servo control system maintains the gap between Electrode and workpiece in Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). Capability of the controller is significant since machining process is a stochastic phenomenon and physical behaviour of the discharge is unpredictable. Therefore, a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller using Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm is designed and applied to an EDM servo actuator system in order to find suitable gain parameters. Simulation results verify the capabilities and effectiveness of the DE algorithm to search the best configuration of PID gain to maintain the electrode position.
