Computer based control assignment- digital control of an inverted pendulum

摘要

This paper describes an assignment study that is undertaken by undergraduate students who have elected to study the digital/state-space control module as part of their Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree course at Heriot-Watt University. The assignment is based around The inverted pendulum example and uses the computer package MATLAB/SIMULINK. An advan- Tage of the way the assignment is structured is that unique solutions do not exist for the choice of The compensator, sample rate and discretisation method.
