ANN to obtain the best PID controller gains that will control my plant, at least get it to a settling time of less than one second and with a percentage overshoot of about 10%.
Possible ANN algorithms that can achieve such a feat will be welcomed.
Of Course you can use ANN algorithm to optimize the PID controller gains or other method such as metaheuristic algorithms (PSO, GA...) and gives a very good results.
