Simulations
To be able to see the demos, you have to download QuickTime
On this page you will find a short description of our simulations and the associated video
The page will be updated several times until the end of the project, in order to add the new documents...
First demo
In this demo, the Pendubot falls freely. One can notice that the system is very chaotic.
Second demo
In this demo, we first swing-up the Pendubot to the down-up equilibrium. Then we balance it around this point before driving it to the up-up equilibrium. We balance it around the up-up equilibrium and finally the safety-net catches it when we stop the balancing controller.
Third demo
In this demo, we first swing-up the Pendubot to the up-up equilibrium. Then we balance it around this point before driving it to the down-up equilibrium. Then, we drive it back to the up-up equilibrium and finally the safety-net catches it when we slam it down.
