Single-objective population based methods such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) have only one solution in a single run. Unlike single objective methods, multi-objective optimization can find different solutions in a single run. This study deals with four conflicting objective functions. In the proposed method, conflicting objectives considered are maximum overshoot, rise time and settling time for multi-objective optimization. The proposed method is used for designing of PID parameters for speed control of dc motor drives. Keywords: NSGA-II;DC motor;speed control;Multi-objective PID controller;pareto optimal front;scheme
