Simulation and robustness studies on an inverted pendulum

In this paper, angular control of the pendulum and position control of the cart for an inverted pendulum are considered, and the design of its four typical controllers are introduced by using PID control, fuzzy control, state feedback control and TC control. Simulation results and Monte-Carlo experiments show that the four controllers have good performance and robustness when the initial angle is 0.3 radians.
