Abstract

We propose a Lyapunov-function-based control for the stabilization of the under-actuated Furuta pendulum. Firstly, by a suitable partial feedback linearization that allows to linearize only the actuated coordinate of the system, we proceed to find a candidate Lyapunov function. Based on this candidate function, we derive a stabilizing controller, in such away that the closed-loop system is locally and asymptotically stable around the unstable vertical equilibrium rest, with a computable domain of attraction.
