Abstract :
In this paper, a linear function observer controller is applied to the stabilization of the inherently unstable system of coupled inverted pendulums. The system consists of two carts and two pendulums. The two pendulums are coupled mechanically by a spring in order to make the system to be a multivariable model. The control scheme and actual device are described in the paper. The experiments showed excellent performance
