Path control of mobile robot using Cuckoo-PID

Abstract

This paper presents, a new approach to track the specified path of mobile robot by using PID controller. Cuckoo optimization method is used to design the PID controller which update the linear & angular velocities to track the path. The objective function is evaluated by calculating individual errors in three (x, y and theta) directions and effective error is calculated by taking under-root of summation of the squared errors. The proposed method is validated by analysing the simulations for different paths.
