Ant colony optimization (ACO) is one of the swarm intelligence (SI) techniques. It is a bio-inspired optimization method that has proven its success through various combinatorial optimization problems. This paper proposes an ant colony optimization algorithm for tuning fuzzy PID controllers. First, the design of typical Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy PID controllers is investigated. The tuning parameters of these controllers have physical meaning which makes its tuning task easier than conventional PID controllers. Simulation examples are provided to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
