Abstract

This manuscript presents a SIMULINK model of inverted pendulum (IP) and design of a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) to control of cart position (CP) and angular position (AP) of the pendulum under uncertainties and disturbances. For designing of the LQR, a fourth-order state-space model of the IP is taken. The LQR is a novel approach whose gains dynamically vary with respect to the error signal. The validation of the improved control performance of LQR is established by comparative result investigation with other published control algorithms. The comparative results clearly reveal the better response of the proposed approach to control the system dynamics within the stable range with respect to accuracy, robustness, and ability to handle uncertainties.
