Question

A self-balancing robot is an inverted-pendulum example problem. The idea is to keep the

robot upright by driving the wheels towards the leaning angle theta. When the robot is tilting

forward, the wheels should be driven forward with a specific acceleration to counter the

tilting. This will keep the robot in an upright position at all times. The block diagram of the

system shown in Figure 3 with transfer function of G(s) = 1/s(s+1)(s2+4s+20) and H(s) = 1.

 

a) Sketch the root locus by indicating the poles and zeros location on the loci.

b) Locate the asymptotes on the root locus in (a).

c) Determine the range of K to keep the system stable.

d) Identify the jco axis crossing on the root locus in (a).
