Abstract:

We consider the problem of time-optimal movement of a platform moving translationally along a horizontal straight line and carrying n inverted pendulums, and during the movement the pendulums should not pass through the lower vertical positions. The only control force is applied to the platform and is limited in magnitude, there is no friction. The system is transferred from the one unstable state of rest to a similar state at a given distance. It is assumed to be small to the extent that linearized equations of motion can be used. The evolution of optimal control functions depending on the amount of platform movement is studied. A general approach to constructing a visual diagram reflecting such evolution is proposed. It is shown that when the number of inverted pendulums is odd, the movement of the platform begins from reverse, but when there is an even number, it does not. The optimal control modes found for a linear system are applied to the problem of small displacement of a platform with two inverted pendulums in a nonlinear formulation.
