Analyzing and Designing Control System for an Inverted Pendulum on a Cart

Abstract

It is a collection of MATLAB functions and scripts, and SIMULINK models, useful for analyzing Inverted Pendulum System and designing Control System for it. Automatic control is a growing field of study in the field of Mechanical Engineering. This covers the proportional, integral and derivative (PID). The principal reason for its popularity is its nonlinear and unstable control. The reports begin with an outline of research into inverted pendulum design system and along with mathematical model formation. This will present introduction and review of the system. Here one dimensional inverted pendulum is analyzed for simulating in MATLAB environment. Control of Inverted Pendulum is a Control Engineering project based on the flight simulation of rocket or missile during the initial stages of flight. The aim of this study is to stabilize the Inverted Pendulum such that the position of the carriage on the track is controlled quickly and accurately so that the pendulum is always erected in its inverted position during such movements.
