چکیده

In this paper we derive a nonlinear control law for stabilization of the Furuta pendulum system with the pendulum in the upright position and the rotating rigid link at rest at the origin. The control law is derived by first applying feedback that makes the Furuta pendulum look like a planar pendulum on a cart plus a gyroscopic force. The planar pendulum on a cart is an example of a class of mechanical systems which can be stabilized in full state space using the method of controlled Lagrangians. We consider this class of systems as our normal form and for the case of the Furuta pendulum, we add to the first transforming feedback law, the energy-shaping control law for the planar pendulum system. The resulting system looks like a mechanical system plus feedback-controlled dissipation and an external force that is quadratic in velocity. Using energy as the Lyapunov function we prove local exponential stability and demonstrate a large region of attraction.

A controller for swinging-up and stabilizing the inverted pendulum

The hybrid solution to the pendulum swinging-up and stabilizing problem introduced by Åström and Furuta is based in two steps: an energy injection and a linear stabilization around the desired inverted position. However the energy injection stage only considers the pendulum, and not the motion of the pivot. Furthermore, for the stabilization stage linear law, only a very small basin of attracti...

NORMAL FORM SOLUTION OF REDUCED ORDER OSCILLATING SYSTEMS

This paper describes a preliminary investigation into the use of normal form theory for modelling large non-linear dynamical systems. Limit cycle oscillations are determined for simple two-degree-of-freedom double pendulum systems. The double pendulum system is reduced into its centre manifold before computing normal forms. Normal forms are obtained using a period averaging method which is appl...

Nonlinear Control Strategies for the Furuta Pendulum

The problem of swinging the Furuta pendulum up is usually solved by a hybrid controller where the global problem is broken down into two steps. First, an injection of energy leads the pendulum near the upright position. Then the pendulum is stabilized at this position. In this paper, different control strategies for both problems are analyzed both by simulation and using an actual laboratory pe...

Geometric Formulations of Furuta Pendulum Control Problems

A Furuta pendulum is a serial connection of two thin, rigid links, where the first link is actuated by a vertical control torque while it is constrained to rotate in a horizontal plane; the second link is not actuated. The second link of the conventional Furuta pendulum is constrained to rotate in a vertical plane orthogonal to the first link, under the influence of gravity. Methods of geometri...

Robust Predictive Control of the Furuta Pendulum

In this paper, a Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) model of the Furuta pendulum is derived. Based on this model, a balancing controller is designed using robust predictive control techniques. Invariant set theory is used to accurately characterise the region of the state space in which the balancing controller is effective. An energy-based control law is used to swing up the pendulum. Invariant se...
