One problem that not yet solved in optimum servocontroller design is determination of positive definite matrices Q and R for the Riccati equation, although such servocontrollers have been applied in many complex control processes. We propose a way to tune weighting matrices by applying genetic algorithms (GAs) to type 1 and 2 optimum linear servocontrollers for a mobile robot. Simulation verified the controller's effectiveness.
