Abstract

The rotary double inverted pendulum system has one stable and three unstable equilibrium points due to its kinematic properties. This paper extends the traditional swing-up control problem by defining a novel transition control problem among these points. We formulate the system’s dynamic equations and boundary conditions for different equilibrium points to minimize energy consumption during transitions, resulting in a two-point boundary value optimal control problem. This problem is solved offline to calculate the feedforward trajectory for feedforward control. To convert the continuous optimal control problem with constraints into a nonlinear optimization problem, we employ the direct collocation method. A time-varying Linear Quadratic controller is used as the feedback controller to accurately track the generated feedforward path during real-time control, compensating for uncertainties. Previous studies on rotary double inverted pendulums have focused on the swing-up problem, with no research addressing transition control between the four equilibrium points. This paper defines the transition control problem for the rotary double inverted pendulum and proposes a control strategy. The method’s effectiveness and practicality were validated through the design and implementation of 12 transition trajectories in experimental settings, successfully demonstrating its feasibility and utility.
