The chaotic ant swarm algorithm (CAS) is an optimization algorithm based on swarm intelligence theory and it is inspired by the chaotic and self-organizing behavior of the ants in nature. Based on the analysis of the properties of the CAS, this paper proposes an improved chaotic ant swarm algorithm (ICAS). A comprehensive learning strategy and a simple refinement searching strategy are added to the CAS in order to improve its performance. Nu- merical experiment results are given to demonstrate that the improved algorithm is superior to CAS in calculation accuracy and convergence stability. Based on these test results, the ICAS is used to optimize the PID controller parameters. Simulation shows that its optimization results are better than that of CAS.
