Abstract:
This project focuses on designing and optimizing fractional-order controllers for the Twin Rotor
MIMO System (TRMS), a nonlinear and strongly coupled platform. Two strategies—FOPID
and FOSMC—are developed and tuned using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Simulation
results show that fractional-order controllers offer superior performance over classical methods
in terms of robustness, disturbance rejection, and handling system nonlinearities.
