Abstract
In a space booster on takeoff, a control system must be
employed to prevent the rocket from falling over as it is forced
upward by the engines. One accurate dynamic model of the space
booster on takeoff is the inverted pendulum.
This paper investigated the inverted pendulum system from
development of equations of motion, through implementation of an
actual inverted pendulum system using state variable feedback control. The concept of state variable feedback was analyzed
in determining a solution to the problem of control of the
inverted pendulum.
Most importantly, design and construction of a working,
solid state controlled, inverted pendulum demonstration model
was accomplished.
