Real Time Swinging Up and Stabilizing a Double Inverted Pendulum Using PID-LQR

Abstract

This study describes a method for swinging up and stabilizing a double inverted pendulum (DIP) in real-time utilizing a PID-LQR combined control system. Firstly, a dynamic model of the double inverted pendulum system is made up and the equations of motion are constructed. The pendulum then is moved from its unstable position to a stable one using a PID-LQR controller. A comparison of the PID-LQR controller’s output and suggestions for improving system stability is presented and is suggested combined control system.
