ESCOBAR-DAVILA, Luisa F.; MONTOYA-GIRALDO, Oscar D.  and  GIRALDO-BUITRAGO, Didier. Global Control of the Furuta Pendulum Using Artificial Neural Networks and Feedback of State Variables. TecnoL. [online]. 2013, n.30, pp.71-94. ISSN 0123-7799.

This paper presents the mathematical modeling of the Furuta Pendulum by power functions, taking into account the non linear own dynamics of the physical systems and considering the existing couplings between the electric and mechanic devices. A control process based on feedback of state variables (FSV) for the equilibrium point is developed and two topics for the non linear zone are addressed. First of all, functions are implemented to represent the energetic states of the plant in a global way and the operation regions are established (“Swing up” zone), and later Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are employed to simulate the behavior of the energy functions. Finally, it is presented the combination between the control techniques, considering the own constrains of the actuators and sensors used, besides of this, a study is done in a simulated environment of the physical phenomena that may disturb system behavior, and the capacity, sensitivity and robustness of the controller is verified.

Keywords : Mathematical model; Furuta Pendulum; state variables; artificial neural networks; hybrid control.
