A simulation of an inverted pendulum robot, made in Python

Inverted Pendulum Robot Simulator

A versatile inverted pendulum simulation for educational and research purposes. This simulation provides a platform for experimenting with control systems, machine learning, and parameter tuning.

Important

Visualization is slower on lower-end CPU's due to the inefficiency of graphing with matplotlib in real time

Overview & Usage

The Inverted Pendulum Simulation is designed to serve as a tool for understanding and experimenting with the dynamics of an inverted pendulum system. It can be used for a wide range of educational and research purposes, including:

• Implementing and testing control algorithms (e.g., PID, LQR).
• Training machine learning models for control.
• Exploring the effects of parameter tuning.
• Studying the behavior of physical systems.
