An interesting project that shows automatic control that brings back the pendulum to its upright position. This is not easy as it goes against the force of gravity and needs some balancing act as well. This was carried out by Magnus Linderoth and Kristian Soltesz during the winter 2006-2007 at the department of automatic control Lund, Sweden.

1 videoclip of the inverted pendulum automatic control after the jump.
