system with two inverted pendulums on 2-d Plane. To this goal‚ it has to be determined which control strategy delivers better performance with respect to pendulum’s angle and the cart’s position. The inverted pendulums represents a challenging control problem‚ since it continually moves toward an uncontrolled state. Introduction: Inverted pendulum has been the subject of numerous studies in automatic control since the forties. The inverted pendulum is a typical representative of a class of high-order

Control Systems Lab Project (Ball and Beam) Ball and Beam Abstract The ball and beam system can usually be found in most university control labs since it is relatively easy to build‚ model and control theoretically. The system includes a ball‚ a beam‚ a motor and several sensors. The basic idea is to use the torque generated from motor to the control the position of the ball on the beam. The ball rolls on the beam freely. By employing linear sensing techniques‚ the information from the sensor
