OVERVIEW

ACROME Linear Inverted Pendulum Trainer is a classic pendulum control challenge to teach students how to balance a vertical rod at the tip of a moving arm. The inverted pendulum system is a popular demonstration of using feedback control to stabilize an open-loop unstable system and is widely used as a benchmark for testing control algorithms.

What is a Linear Inverted Pendulum
5
Min

The linear inverted pendulum (or linear pendulum, lin. pen for short) is a classical physics experiment used to explain the control theory and system dynamics. Therefore, it has been used as one of the primary systems used to test and compare control strategies. In an inverted pendulum system, which is an open-loop unstable system, it is desired to stabilize the system by reciprocating motion to stabilize it. It is also used as a common method for testing control algorithms.
