+This repository contains an implementation of a Genetic Algorithm (GA) for tuning the gains of a PID Controller.
+The focus of this study was on PID controllers used on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAV).
+
+autotuning_script.m:
+This is a standalone file and simulates the dynamics of a second order system. The tuning is based on the satisfaction
+of certain criteria.
+
+autotuning_v2: 
+This file requires the "reference_tracking.slx" Simulink model to run. Tuning is achieved based on reference tracking
+a demanded output.
+
+
+The work was conducted as part of my undergraduate research thesis.
