Team ANDI'S PIE

Andy’s Nifty Dynamic Inverted Swinging Pendulum in Equilibrium

Background

Our team developed an inverted pendulum system that could be accessed over a computer network for use by students. The inverted pendulum is a common controls problem used in academia. This problem teaches students concepts of control loops, data filtering, and machine learning.

What is an Inverted Pendulum?

A vertical pendulum that is balanced via the base moving.
Controlled movements are determined by measuring the position and speed of the pendulum and base.
