Data-driven PID tuning for liquid slosh-free motion using memory-based SPSA algorithm

This study proposes a data-driven PID tuning for liquid slosh suppression based on enhanced stochastic approximation. In particular, a new version of Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation (SPSA) based on memory type function is introduced. This memory-based SPSA (M-SPSA) algorithm has the capability to obtain a better optimization accuracy than the conventional SPSA since it is able to keep the best design parameter during the tuning process. The effectiveness of this algorithm is tested to data-drive PID tuning for liquid slosh problem. The achievement of the M-SPSA based algorithm is assessed in terms of trajectory tracking of trolley position, slosh angle reduction and also computation time. The outcome of this study shows that the PID-tuned M-SPSA is able to provide better control performance accuracy than the other variant of SPSA based method.
