Abstract :
This paper describes the setup and case study of the rotating base inverted pendulum. The inverted pendulum is a classical control system problem because of its nonlinear characteristics and unstable behavior. The rotating inverted pendulum is an excellent test bed for nonlinear control theory. This paper describes the hardware and software used and the different control schemes that were implemented and the results are presented.
