OVERVIEW
The inverted pendulum system is a popular demonstration of using feedback control to stabilize an open-loop unstable system and widely used as a benchmark for testing control algorithms. The system can be used to teach students how to balance a vertical rod at the tip of a moving arm.
HIGH-AVAILABILITY SYSTEM
Components of the system are deliberately chosen to maximize the efficiency without compromising quality. Mechanical components are stiff and durable, built to last for many years.
The electronic parts are connected with clean cables and printed boards.
USER-FRIENDLY GUI AND OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE
Available with open-source codes, allows students to implement their own controller designs. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) exists to operate the system out-of-the box.
