The Effect of Friction on Stabilization of an Inverted Pendulum

Abstract
This thesis investigates frictional effects on the stabilization of a rotating inverted pendulum. Because of friction, limit cycles arise when trying to stabilize the inverted pendulum. The stabilization is done using linear state feedback. For estimation of the states, Kalman filters are used. Both real-time experiments and simulations are performed. Two friction models are used, one classical with stiction and Coulomb friction, and one advanced and dynamic, the LuGre model. These are identified by comparing limit cycles from the real process with limit cycles obtained through simulations. Since the inverted pendulum is an unstable process with fast dynamics. it is sensitive to parameter changes, and thus it is difficult to get good... (More)

Model-based friction compensation is also tried. This results in reduced limit cycles. (Less)
