In this paper, a mathematical model of a twin-inverted pendulum on a moving cart has been derived. This is done using the Lagrange–Euler method and, hence, a highly nonlinear mathematical model is resulted from this derivation. These nonlinear and unstable dynamics are written in a simple matrix form. For this challenging system, we use two types of efficient control approaches to treat the control problem of the twin inverted pendulum, namely, linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC). Simulations with several scenarios are also presented to demonstrate the control performances and the model validity.

In this paper, two efficient control algorithms are discussed viz., Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and Dynamic Matrix Controller (DMC) and their applicability has been demonstrated through case study with a complex interacting process viz., a laboratory based four tank liquid storage system. The process has Two Input Two Output (TITO) structure and is available for experimental study. A mathematical model of the process has been developed using first principles. Model parameters have been estimated through the experimentation results. The performance of the controllers (LQR and DMC) has been compared to that of industrially more accepted PID controller.

This research proposes control method to balance and stabilize an inverted pendulum. A robust control was analyzed and adjusted to the model output with real time feedback. The feedback was obtained using state space equation of the feedback controller. A linear quadratic regulator (LQR) model tuning and control was applied to the inverted pendulum using internet of things (IoT). The system's conditions and performance could be monitored and controlled via personal computer (PC) and mobile phone. Finally, the inverted pendulum was able to be controlled using the LQR controller and the IoT communication developed will monitor to check the all conditions and performance results as well as help the inverted pendulum improved various operations of IoT control is discussed.

Two-wheeled self-balancing robot is a popular model in control system experiments which is more widely known as inverted pendulum and cart model. This is a multi-input and multi-output system which is theoretical and has been applied in many systems in daily use. Anyway, most research just focus on balancing this model through try-on experiments or by using simple form of mathematical model. There were still few researches that focus on complete mathematic modeling and designing a mathematical model based controller for such system. This paper analyzed mathematical model of the system. Then, the authors successfully applied a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) controller for this system. This controller was tested with different case of system condition. Controlling results was proved to work well and tested on different case of system condition through simulation on matlab/Simulink program.

The system of a cart inverted pendulum has many problems such as  nonlinearity, complexity, unstable, and underactuated system. It makes this system be a benchmark for testing many control algorithm. This paper  presents a comparison between 2 conventional control methods consist of a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and pole placement. The comparison  indicated by the most optimal steps and results in the system performance  that obtained from each method for stabilizing a cart inverted pendulum system. A mathematical model of DC motor and mechanical transmission are included in a mathematical model to minimize the realtime implementation problem. From the simulation, the obtained system performance shows that each method has its advantages, and the desired pendulum angle and cart position reached.

AbstractFrom the last few decades, inverted pendulums have become a benchmark problem in dynamics and control theory. Due to their inherit nature of nonlinearity, instability and underactuation, these are widely used to verify and implement emerging control techniques. Moreover, the dynamics of inverted pendulum systems resemble many real-world systems such as segways, humanoid robots etc. In the literature, a wide range of controllers had been tested on this problem, out of which, the most robust being the sliding mode controller while the most optimal being the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller. The former has a problem of non-robust reachability phase while the later lacks the property of robustness. To address these issues in both the controllers, this paper presents the novel implementation of integral sliding mode controller (ISMC) for stabilization of a spatial inverted pendulum (SIP), also known as an x-y-z inverted pendulum. The structure has three control inputs and five controlled outputs. Mathematical modeling of the system is done using Euler Lagrange approach. ISMC has an advantage of eliminating non-robust reachability phase along with enhancing the robustness of the nominal controller (LQR Controller). To validate the robustness of ISMC to matched uncertainties, an input disturbance is added to the nonlinear model of the system. Simulation results on two different case studies demonstrate that the proposed controller is more robust as compared to conventional LQR controller. Furthermore, the problem of chattering in the controller is dealt by smoothening the controller inputs to the system with insignificant loss in robustness.

The inherited instabilities in the Inverted Pendulum (IP) system make it one of the most difficult nonlinear problems in the control theory. In this research work, Proportional –Integral and Derivative (PID) Controller with a feed forward gain is used with Reduced Linear Quadratic Regulator (RLQR) for stabilizing the Cart Position and Swinging-up the Pendulum angle. Tuning the Controllers' gains is achieved by using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Technique. Obtaining the combined PID controllers' gains with a feed forward gain and RLQR is a multi-dimensions control problem. The Proposed Controllers give minimum Settling Time, Rise Time, Undershoot and Over shoot for both the Cart Position and the Pendulum angle. A disturbance with different amplitudes is applied to the system, and the results showed the robustness of the systems based on the tuned controllers. The overall results are promising.

The objective of this article is to optimize parameters of a hybrid sliding mode controller based on fireworks algorithm for a nonlinear inverted pendulum system. The proposed controller is a combination of two modified types of the classical sliding mode controller, namely, baseline sliding mode controller and fast output sampling discrete sliding mode controller. The simulation process is carried out with MATLAB/Simulink. The results are compared with a published hybrid method using proportional–integral–derivative and linear quadratic regulator controllers. The simulation results show a better performance of the proposed controller.

<p class="1Body">This paper presents mathematical modelling and control of a two-wheeled single-seat vehicle. The design of the vehicle is inspired by the Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility (PUMA) vehicle developed by General Motors® in collaboration with Segway®. The body of the vehicle is designed to have two main parts. The vehicle is activated using three motors; a linear motor to activate the upper part in a sliding mode and two DC motors activating the vehicle while moving forward/backward and/or manoeuvring. Two stages proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control schemes are designed and implemented on the system models. The state space model of the vehicle is derived from the linearized equations. Controller based on the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and the pole placement techniques are developed and implemented. Further investigation of the robustness of the developed LQR and the pole placement techniques is emphasized through various experiments using an applied impact load on the vehicle.</p>

Full car passive and active damping system mathematical model was developed. Computer simulation using MATLAB was performed and analyzed. Two different road profile were used to check the performance of the passive and active damping using Linear Quadratic Regulator controller (LQR)Road profile 1 has three bumps with amplitude of 0.05m, 0.025 m and 0.05 m. Road profile 2 has a bump with amplitude of 0.05 m and a hole of -0.025 m. For all the road profiles, there were 100% amplitude reduction in Wheel displacement, Wheel deflection, Suspension travel and body displacement, and 97.5% amplitude reduction in body acceleration for active damping with LQR controller as compared to the road profile and 54.0% amplitude reduction in body acceleration as compared to the passive damping system. For the two road profiles, the settling time for all the observed parameters was less than two (2) seconds. The present work gave faster settling time for mass displacement, body acceleration and wheel displacement.

AbstractFrom the last five decades, inverted pendulum (IP) has been considered as a benchmark problem in the control literature due to its inherit nature of instability, non-linearity and underactuation. Its applicability in wide range of practical systems, demands the need of a robust controller. It is found in the literature that wide range of controllers had been tested on this problem, out of which the most robust being sliding mode controller while the most optimal being linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller. The former has a problem of discontinuity and chattering, while the latter lacks the property of robustness. To address the robustness issue in LQR controller, this paper proposes a novel robust LQR-based adaptive neural based fuzzy inference system controller, which is a hybrid of LQR and fuzzy inference system. The proposed controller is designed and implemented on rotary inverted pendulum. Further, to validate the robustness of proposed controller to parametric uncertainties, pendulum mass is varied. Simulation and experimental results show that as compared to LQR controller, the proposed controller is robust to variations in pendulum mass and has shown satisfactory performance.
