Hi all,

I want to know how to find PID parameters if we know the reference trajectory but the transfer function of Plant is not known.

Manual tuning will obviously take time and I have tried a lot but unsuccessful. The Plant can't follow the desired trajectory.

Is there any way of self-tuning or auto-tuning for this Plant?

One approach could be to collect some input/output data for the plant, and use system identification to get a plant model. Once you have this model you can use PID Tuner in Control System Tooobox to automatically get you PID gains.
