Abstract

In this paper, non-linear controls of three kinds of under-actuated mechanical systems are summarised. The systems are: inverted pendulum systems, Acrobot system and helicopter experimental system. In particular, concerning the inverted pendulum system, a parallel cart-type double inverted pendulum and a serial cart-type double inverted pendulum are introduced. For the systems, different controller design schemes are considered. Experimental results on the systems are also shown.
