The Rotary Double Inverted Pendulum module is ideal to introduce intermediate and advanced control concepts, taking the classic single inverted pendulum challenge to the next level of complexity. Demonstrate and explore real-world control challenges related, for example, to takeoff stabilization of a multi-stage rocket.
The Rotary Double Inverted Pendulum module consists of a flat arm that mounts to the Rotary Servo Base Unit. A short pendulum rod is attached to the arm’s metal shaft, instrumented with a high-resolution encoder measuring the pendulum’s angle. The second encoder is mounted on the top of the short pendulum, measuring the angle of the second, longer pendulum rod. The Rotary Servo Base Unit rotates the arm with the double pendulums in a horizontal plane.
