Adaptive control of rotary inverted pendulum system with time-varying uncertainties

摘要

In this paper, an adaptive controller is proposed to balance a rotary inverted pendulum with time-varying uncertainties. The goal of the control is to bring the pendulum close to the upright position regardless of the various uncertainties and disturbances. Its underactuated dynamics is first decoupled by Olfati’s transformation into a cascade form, and then an adaptive controller is designed to deal with the uncertainties in the new space. Based on the Lyapunov-like theory, the closed loop stability and boundedness of all internal signals can be proved. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is capable of giving good performance, as desired.
