Abstract

In order to solve difficult optimization problems, there are many bio-inspired optimization techniques can be used. Firefly algorithm is a natural inspired algorithm that can solve the optimization problems.Firefly algorithm consists some parameter can be controlled, which this may influence the performance of the algorithm.This research is focus on the variation of parameter setting to know the performance of the algorithm.In order to verify and test them performance of Firefly algorithm, benchmark functions can be used.The parameter settings that been varying is the number of dimension, number of population and number of iterations.When the amount of fireflies increases, it will move toward the optimal point.The algorithm will perform better at lower dimension compare to higher dimension. The flexible manipulator system (FMS) is used as application to know the performance of the algorithm.The Firefly Algorithm is used to tune the PID controller with using the performance criteria.The parameters of the PID controller will affect the performance of the flexible manipulator system (FMS).The analysis method is used to analyse the performance of the hub angle of FMS.There are 3 conditions been set to analyse the performance of the hub angle for each performance criteria. The most suitable performance criteria as the objective function of Firefly Algorithm to tune the PID controller been selected.
