Abstract: The Ball and Beam system with Deviated Axis is a single input-muti output (SIMO) system commonly used in laboratories to test control algorithms. In this paper, we build and investigate an PID-GA controller in simulation and apply to real model. The controller demonstrates the ability to control the balancing statement in different desired positions. Next, we conduct a survey of the above method in the object name Ball and beam system with deviated axis through STM32F4. Through simulation and experiment, our PID controller has successfully controlled the system and GA-PID has optimize well PID parameters. In addition, the control parameters had been adjusted to verify and summerize the theoretical rules.

Keywords: PID control, Ball and Beam, genetic algorithm, STM32F4, SIMO system.
