Mean arterial pressure PID controlusing a PSO-BOIDS algorithm

Abstract

A new hybrid between the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and Boids is presented to design PID controllers applied to the mean arterial pressure control problem. While both PSO and Boids have been extensively studied separately, their hybridization potential is far from fully explored. The PSOBoids algorithm is proposed to perform both system identification and PID controller design. The advantage over a standard particle swarm optimization algorithm is the promotion of the diversity of the search procedure. Preliminary simulation results are presented.
