| dc.description.abstract | A dual inverted pendulum system, consisting of two individual pendulums of different lengths on a single cart, was fully designed and implemented as a demonstration of classical control theory. This document contains an analysis of the complete control system for both a single and dual inverted pendulum system, as well as the results of the implementation. Also presented are the all-analog systems which were used along with an industrial permanent magnet linear synchronous motor to control and drive the pendulum cart, including a voltage-controlled oscillator, three-phase switching power amplifier, and acceleration feedback controller. | en_US |
