Therefore, proper tuning of these motors is crucial. This paper focuses on using nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms due to its' capability to improve the current control systems in terms of rise time, settling time, overshoot and steady state error. Algorithms that have been investigated are the Cuckoo Search (CS) in tuning the Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller. © 2015 IEEE. %K Algorithms; Controllers; DC motors; Models; Optimization; Proportional control systems; Three term control systems; Two term control systems, Control strategies; Cuckoo search algorithms; Cuckoo searches; Dc servomotors; Meta heuristic algorithm; PID controllers; Proportional integral derivative controllers; Steady state errors, Electric machine control
