In this article, a stability analysis on an inverted pendulum system has been approached using a fractional order PID controller and a fractional order-based model reference adaptive controller. A modified MIT rule provides an extra degree of freedom, unlike an MIT rule of MRAC controllers to stablize the pendulum angle of the inverted pendulum system which is highly unstable in nature. Here, to analyze better stability performance of the inverted pendulum over the fractional order MIT rule of MRAC controller optimal fractional order, a PID controller has been approached and FMINCON numerical optimization algorithm has been chosen to optimize the fractional order PID controller using ITSE as a scaler objective function. Next, the behaviourial characteristics of the pendulum have been compared between the FMINCON-based FOPID controllers and the fractional order MIT rule of the MRAC controller to show robust performance using an optimal FOPID controller with respect to performance indices increases time, settling time, followed by errors ISE, IAE, ITSE.
