The mechanical structure is a wooden rod pivoted in the middle. The DC motor and the 3D printed "puddle" (flywheel) are mounted on one end. Due to their significant weight, a smaller counterweight was ...

An Arduino-based inverted pendulum system that integrates control theory, embedded hardware, and mechanical design to achieve real-time stabilization. The system balances a pendulum in its upright ...

Abstract: The inverted pendulum system is a typical control problem for comparing advanced control approaches because of its unstable and nonlinear characteristics. Balancing the kind of system ...

The purpose of this application note is to describe how a PIC16F684 can be used to implement a positional Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) feedback control in an inherently unstable system. An ...

The inverted pendulum is a pretty classic dynamics problem and reaction wheels are cool. That’s why we like [Mike Rouleau]’s self-balancing stick. The video, viewable after the break, was fairly ...
