The inverted pendulum is a common-interesting control problem that involves many basic elements of control theory. This paper investigates the swinging up problem of a real pendulum from its lower position to the upper position and the balancing problem of the pendulum around the upper position. For swinging up the pendulum a fuzzy logic controller with two sets of rules, and two inputs is used while for stabilization a linear controller is used.
