The inverted pendulum has been employed in various devices and trying to balance an inverted pendulum presents a unique engineering problem for researchers. [7] The inverted pendulum was a central component in the design of several early seismometers due to its inherent instability resulting in a measurable response to any disturbance. [8]
Cart-pendulum. The control theory is using differential equations to describe complex physical systems like an inverted pendulum. [1] A set of differential equations forms a physics engine which maps the control input to the state space of the system. The forward model is able to simulate the given domain.
Rotational Inverted Pendulum: Classic pedagogical example of application of control theory. The Furuta pendulum, or rotational inverted pendulum, consists of a driven arm which rotates in the horizontal plane and a pendulum attached to that arm which is free to rotate in the vertical plane.

Kapitza noted that a pendulum clock with a vibrating pendulum suspension always goes faster than a clock with a fixed suspension. [11] Walking is defined by an 'inverted pendulum' gait in which the body vaults over the stiff limb or limbs with each step. Increased stability during walking might be related to stability of Kapitza's pendulum.
A pendulum is a body suspended from a fixed support such that it freely swings back and forth under the influence of gravity. When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back towards the equilibrium position.
Introducing a coordinate system centred in the position of the cusp, the equation of motion is given by: = [() + ()] = [ ()], where is the angle that the straight part of the string makes with the vertical axis, and is given by = (), = =, where A < 1 is the "amplitude", is the radian frequency of the pendulum and g the ...
The phase portrait of the pendulum equation x ″ + sin x = 0.The highlighted curve shows the heteroclinic orbit from (x, x′) = (–π, 0) to (x, x′) = (π, 0).This orbit corresponds with the (rigid) pendulum starting upright, making one revolution through its lowest position, and ending upright again.
