A symbolic investigation of controller design for a single inverted pendulum system. (2002)
Presentation / Conference
Woodham, C. A., & Su, H. (2002, July). A symbolic investigation of controller design for a single inverted pendulum system. Paper presented at ICCAM 2002

The two dimensional inverted pendulum is unstable in that it may fall over at any time in either direction unless a suitable control force is applied. This paper designs a controller numerically and symbolically by using Ackermann's formula of the Po...
