Variable universe adaptive fuzzy control on the quadruple inverted pendulum

This paper focuses on the control problem of the quadruple inverted pendulum by variable universe adaptive fuzzy control. First, the mathematical model on the quadruple inverted pendulum is described and its controllability is versified. Then, an efficient controller on the quadruple inverted pendulum is designed by using variable universe adaptive fuzzy control theory. Finally the simulation of the quadruple inverted pendulum is shown in detail. Besides, the experimental results on the hardware systems, i.e. real object systems, on a single inverted pendulum, a double inverted pendulum and a triple inverted pendulum are briefly introduced.
