Abstract: The typical PID control has been unable to satisfy the requirements of industrial robot control at present,an application method based on an improved genetic algorithm for industrial robot control PID is proposed.First industrial robot for a simple description,then the idea of using bacterial conjugation,for conventional genetic algorithm was improved,combined with PID control robot is proposed an adaptive PID control strategy.The simulation shows that the improved genetic algorithm can make the robot adaptive PID control rapid convergence to the desired value,the convergence of high precision,and for regular outside interference,a certain degree of robustness to meet the requirements of robot control.
