Abstract: Double-linked rotary inverted pendulum is a developed structure of single-linked rotary inverted pendulum. Due to its high-order SIMO structure, it is a big challenge to operate this model on experiment. In this paper, we present an experimental double-linked rotary inverted pendulum that is constructed in our laboratory. A classical linear method – LQR – is used to control well this model in simulation. In experiment, we have stabilized this model for two seconds. Thence, our research contributes experimental results to confirm the ability of LQR for this kind of real model in stabilizing it in equilibrium point.

Keywords: LQR; double-linked; rotary inverted pendulum; SIMO structure.
