Once you step into the world of controls, you quickly realize that controlling even simple systems isn’t as easy as applying voltage to a servo. Before you start working on your own bipedal robot or ...

Mobile inverted pendulum (MIP) systems, typified by two-wheeled self-balancing robots and emerging wheel-legged platforms, present intrinsically unstable, underactuated dynamics that demand ...

Researchers have demonstrated a way to maintain an unstable quantum system by applying bursts of microwave radiation. The technique is comparable to methods used for controlling an inverted pendulum ...
