double pendulum what does it mean
We’ve seen robots balancing sticks before, and it’s pretty cool… Since humans can do the same thing, there’s a limit to how impressive it can get. But just try finding a human who can balance a stick with a hinge in the middle:
This thing gets even more awesome, because one commenter on the video asked (somewhat rhetorically) if the robot could do the same thing with a rope. Here’s what the author had to say:
For a chain the stabilization is theoretical possible (a rope doesn’t has the needed compressive strength). Swing up of a chain should be possible with a feedforward control but probably not with an energy based approach.
Just imagine how utterly crazy that would be… My mind is now preemptively blown.
