The document discusses the optimization of PID controllers for brushed DC motors using genetic algorithms (GA) with modified objective functions that incorporate additional performance parameters such as overshoot percentage, steady state error, settling time, and rise time. The modifications lead to significant improvements in performance metrics, achieving 0% overshoot and better response times compared to original objective functions that focused solely on minimizing error. Results indicate that while GA traditionally may not outperform classical methods, the integration of comprehensive performance indicators enhances overall control system performance.
