Alternative controller design for rotary inverted pendulum

The inverted pendulum has been considered a classical control problem. Two designs of inverted pendulum are planar and rotary with a nonlinear unstable system characteristic. Inverted pendulum systems are nonlinear. They can be used for testing and studying various observers and controllers. Control of a rotary inverted pendulum is studied here. This paper proposes stabilization of the rotary inverted pendulum at its upright position by using full-state controller. Full-state controllers are designed by using different damping ratios. MATLAB simulation results and the experimental results are taken for 10 degrees step for 5 seconds. The best controller is chosen for SRV02-Rotary inverted pendulum by looking at the simulation and experimental results
