Abstract

In this paper, the variable universe adaptive fuzzy controller based on variable gain H regulator (VGHR) is designed to stabilize a quadruple inverted pendulum. The VGHR is a novel robust gain-scheduling approach. By utilizing VGHR technique, a more precise real-time feedback gain matrix, which is changing with states, is obtained. Via the variable gain matrix 10 state variables of quadruple inverted pendulum are transformed into a kind of synthesis error (E) and synthesis rate of change of error (EC) at sampling time. Therefore, the dimension of the multivariable system is reduced and the variable universe adaptive fuzzy controller is built. Experiments illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
