Pendulum
Kit

The pendulum plant is a classic in dynamic systems and control. This kit can be used to study self-erecting, inverted, and non-inverted pendulum plants.​

Learning Objectives Include

  • ​Modeling and simulation of dynamic systems

  • Model validation

  • Parameter estimation

  • Linearization

  • Disturbance rejection

  • Balance control (PID, LQR..)

  • Swing-up Control (Energy based, natural frequency)

  • Trajectory Optimization (for Swing-up)
