Abstract

This study focuses on the implementation and comparative evaluation of two swing-up control strategies—Energy-Based Methods (EBM) and Advanced Sliding Mode Control (ASMC)—for pendubot, a nonlinear two-link robotic system. While previous research has extensively explored balancing algorithms for this model, swing-up strategies have primarily been analyzed through simulations, with limited application to real-world systems. This research addresses this gap by deploying both EBM and ASMC on a physical pendubot model. Practical results are presented to provide the most accurate evaluation of the control quality of each algorithm.
