Abstract An inverted pendulum system has been designed and constructed as a physical model of inherently unstable mechanical systems. The vertical upright position of a pendulum is controlled by changing the horizontal position of a cart to which the pendulum is hinged. The stability of the system has been investigated when a fuzzy controller is used to produce the control signal, while making a single measurement. It has been shown that by using simple fuzzy rules to allow real time computation with a single angular position measurement, the system can not be made absolutely stable. However, the stability and performance of the system have been considerably improved by shrinking the membership functions of angular position, computed angular velocity and control signal when inverted pendulum is very close to the vertical upright position.

The inverted pendulum system (IPS) is considered the milestone of many robotic-based industries. In this paper, a new variant of variable structure adaptive fuzzy (VSAF) is used with new reduced linear quadratic regulator (RLQR) and feedforward gain for enhancing the stability of IPS. The optimal determining of VSAF parameters as well as Q and R matrices of RLQR are obtained by using a modified grey wolf optimizer with adaptive constants property via particle swarm optimization technique (GWO/PSO-AC). A comparison between the hybrid GWO/PSO-AC and classical GWO/PSO based on multi-objective function is provided to justify the superiority of the proposed technique. The IPS equipped with the hybrid GWO/PSO-AC-based controllers has minimum settling time, rise time, undershoot, and overshoot results for the two system outputs (cart position and pendulum angle). The system is subjected to robustness tests to ensure that the system can cope with small as well as significant disturbances.

This article provides a representation of the double inverted pendulum system that is shaped and regulated in response to torque application at the top rather than the bottom of the pendulum, given that most researchers have controlled the double inverted pendulum based on the lower part or the base. To achieve this objective, we designed a dynamic Lagrangian conceptualization of the double inverted pendulum and a state feedback representation based on the simple convex polytypic transformation. Finally, we used the fuzzy state feedback approach to linearize the mathematical nonlinear model and to develop a fuzzy controller H ∞ , given its great ability to simplify nonlinear systems in order to reduce the error rate and to increase precision. In our virtual conceptualization of the inverted pendulum, we used MATLAB software to simulate the movement of the system before applying a command on the upper part of the system to check its stability. Concerning the nonlinearities of the system, we have found a state feedback fuzzy control approach. Overall, the simulation results have shown that the fuzzy state feedback model is very efficient and flexible as it can be modified in different positions.

This paper proposes a novel passivity cascade technique (PCT)-based control for nonlinear inverted pendulum systems. Its main objective is to stabilize the pendulum’s upward states despite uncertainties and exogenous disturbances. The proposed framework combines the estimation properties of radial basis function neural networks (RBFNs) with the passivity attributes of the cascade control framework. The unknown terms of the nonlinear system are estimated using an RBFN approximator. The performance of the closed-loop system is further enhanced by using the integral of angular position as a virtual state variable. The lumped uncertainties (NN—Neural Network approximation, external disturbances and parametric uncertainty) are compensated for by adding a robustifying adaptive rule-based signal to the PCT-based control. The boundedness of the states is confirmed using the passivity theorem. The performance of the proposed approach was assessed using a nonlinear inverted pendulum system under both nominal and disturbed conditions.
