Abstract
The inverted-pendulum system is a favorite example system and lecture demonstration of students and educators in physics, dynamics, and control. This system is a simple and valuable laboratory representation of an unstable mechanical system. This paper traces the early history of the inverted-pendulum system, and also compares several of the early treatments from the literature between 1960 and 1970.
