Underactuated mechanisms provide significant challenges to control engineers. In this paper a nonlinear controller, based on regulation theory is applied to an underactuated system, the so-called Pendubot, consisting in a double pendulum actuated only at the first joint. Simulation and experimental results for tracking a reference signal are presented
