This paper develops a decoupled multi-loop control for a two-wheeled inverted pendulum (TWIP) robot that can assist user’s with walking. The TWIP robot is equipped with two wheels driven by electrical motors. We derive the system’s transfer function and design a robust loop-shaping controller to balance the system. The simulation and experimental results show that the TWIP system can be balanced but might experience velocity drifts because its balancing point is affected by model variations and disturbances. Therefore, we propose a multi-loop control layout consisting of a velocity loop and a position loop for the TWIP robot. The velocity loop can adjust the balancing point in real-time and regulate the forward velocity, while the position loop can achieve position tracking. For walking assistance, we design a decoupled control structure that transfers the linear and rotational motions of the robot to the commands of two parallel motors. We implement the designed controllers for simulation and experiments and show that the TWIP system employing the proposed decoupled multi-loop control can provide satisfactory responses when assisting with walking.

The control of rotary inverted pendulum is a case of classical robust controller design of non-linear system applications. In the control system design, a precise system model is a pre-requisite for an enhanced and optimum control performance. This paper describes the dynamic system model of an inverted pendulum system. The mathematical model was derived, linearized at the upright equilibrium points and validated using non-linear least square frequency domain identification approach based on measured frequency response function of the physical system. Besides that, a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller was designed as the balancing controller for the pendulum. An extensive analysis was performed on the effect of the weighting parameter Q on the static time of arm, balance time of pendulum, oscillation, as well as, response of arm and pendulum, in order to determine the optimum state-feedback control vector, K. Furthermore, the optimum control vector was successfully applied and validated on the physical system to stabilize the pendulum in its upright position. In the experimental validation, the LQR controller was able to keep the pendulum in its upright position even in the presence of external disturbance forces.
