This document discusses using PID controllers tuned with soft computing techniques for position control of servo systems. It analyzes tuning PID controllers for a 3rd order plant model of a servo motor using the Ziegler-Nichols (ZN) method, genetic algorithm (GA), and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The step responses show that PSO provides the best performance with the fastest rise and settling times and lowest overshoot and errors. While ZN is easy to apply, GA and especially PSO give better results for controlling the servo motor's position.
