Fuzzy controller for swing-up and stabilization of inverted pendulum

Abstract

In this paper, the design and implementation of a fuzzy controller for swing-up and stabilization of a laboratory setup - inverted pendulum is addressed. The laboratory setup is briefly described, the main signals are discussed and notations are introduced. Detailed explanation of the proposed controllerpsilas logic is presented, as well as the fuzzy rules and control surfaces. Experiments are carried out to demonstrate the performance of the proposed controller. Comparison with an existing controller is made as well.
