Abstract

The balancing of an inverted pendulum by moving a cart along a horizontal track is a classic problem in the area of automatic control. In this paper two Neural Network controllers to swing a pendulum attached to a cart from an initial downwards position to an upright position and maintain that state are described. Both controllers are able to learn the demonstrated behavior which was swinging up and balancing the inverted pendulum in the upright position starting from different initial angles.
