 Author(s)   Xiaodong Zhao, Li Chai, Rong Yang 
 Abstract   Modern control theory is now developed to provide an authentic design technique for synthesizing practical control systems. In particular, the lack of appropriated friction nonlinear model for the pendulum makes interesting the task of design a robust controller. In this paper, both design methods (LQR and H ‡ ) are illustrated by simulation with an inverted pendulum case. The differences of performance between these two methods are compared and investigated according to the simulation results. To find a "good" trade-off between the multi-objective specifications (mixed H2 and H ‡), an optimal multi-objective controller based on the LMI theory is designed. A strategy of energy control for swinging up a pendulum from its stable downward position to its upright position is illustrated at the end of this paper. The experimental result shows the whole successful procedure of swinging up a pendulum and balancing it at its steady-state upright position.
