Abstract In this paper, the stability problem of Furuta pendulum controlled by the fractional order PD controller is presented. A mathematical model of rotational inverted pendulum is derived and the fractional order PD controller is introduced in order to stabilize the same. The problem of asymptotic stability of a closed loop system is solved using the D-decomposition approach. On the basis of this method, analytical forms expressing the boundaries of stability regions in the parameters space have been determined. The D-decomposition method is investigated for linear fractional order systems and for the case of linear parameter dependence. In addition, some results for the case of nonlinear parameter dependence are presented. An example is given and tests are made in order to confirm that stability domains have been well calculated. When the stability regions have been determined, tuning of the fractional order PD controller can be carried out.

The inverted pendulum, a classical mechatronic application, exists in many different forms. In despite that many works have been done to balance the pendulum link on end of this device using feedback control but few studies have been developed to control this rotary inverted pendulum using PD controller. In classical methods, using PD, PI or PID control, difficulties appear due to one of the coefficients becomes zero in closed loop transfer function denominator and consequently the system becomes unstable. In this study, an arbitrary pole is placed in order to create a break point in root locus, so by this way a PD controller can be designed for this new system. Also, disturbance rejection has been investigated by state space method in this paper. The results of this modified PD controller are compared with full state feedback control and optimal control, so the method used in this study has been validated.
