Intelligent internal model controller optimized via multi-objective genetic algorithms for robotic arm trajectory tracking
摘要
This paper introduces a novel intelligent Internal Model Control (IMC) for trajectory tracking of a 2-DOF robotic arm, optimized using multi-objective genetic algorithms. Unlike conventional IMC, the proposed approach automatically tunes the model inversion gain by simultaneously optimizing the integral of squared error, percent overshoot, and settling time. The controller combines a proportional gain for model inversion with an adaptive gain for error correction, ensuring both stability and high tracking accuracy. Simulation results under nominal conditions, disturbances, and parametric uncertainties show that the proposed MOGA-IMC outperforms GA-ISE-IMC and GA-PO-IMC, achieving faster settling, lower overshoot, and enhanced robustness. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of integrating IMC with multi-objective evolutionary optimization for controlling complex and uncertain robotic systems.
