Precise and stable trajectory tracking in mobile robotics is challenging due to dynamic disturbances and uncertain conditions. Traditional controllers like P-D and PID often underperform in non-linear, unpredictable environments. They also lack the adaptability needed for real-time, vision-based control systems. To address these issues, this paper explores and compares the effectiveness of three control approaches: P-D, PID, and a Fractional Order PID (FOPID) controller optimized using the World Cup Optimization Algorithm (WCOA). The control system is driven by inputs from a computer vision setup, and the controllers are evaluated on their ability to maintain accurate setpoint tracking under simulated dynamic disturbances. The FOPID controller’s parameters are tuned using WCOA, enhancing its adaptability and precision. The robustness of WCOA is also validated using standard benchmark functions including Sphere, Rastrigin, Ackley, Rosenbrock, and Griewank. Simulation results show that the WCOA-tuned FOPID controller significantly outperforms both P-D and PID controllers in minimizing error, maintaining control stability, and ensuring accurate trajectory tracking. Its superiority is also demonstrated through real-time tests on a mobile robot. Furthermore, feasibility evaluations reveal high levels of usability, operability, and learnability. These results highlight the strong potential of WCOA as a robust optimization method for advanced control systems and provide a foundation for future research in dynamic environments, hybrid optimization techniques, and broader engineering applications.
