If you want more precision. You could use 2 wheel instead of 1. 1 for clockwise and 1 for count clockwise. Meaning the wheels keep going in the same directions and less jerking back and forth. As less accelaration is needed.
The one downside is that it decreases the reactive weight/dead weight ratio of the pendulum for a certain direction. But if it can achieve the angles and agility you want, then this doesn't really matter.
One the other hand, due to the increased total reactive weight, this setup would have twice the saturation margin as the single wheel setup. When one wheel is nearing saturation, the angular momentum could be transferred to the other wheel. You could do this by decelerating the saturated one at the same time as accelerating the other one in the same direction. During this operation, it's possible to not apply any torque, but one could also incorporate this to always run in the background by differentially moving the two wheels in concert. On the other other hand, doing the above would require one to move at least one wheel in both directions, doing away with the benefit frim the OP.
This is the most unrealistic depiction of programming I have seen since the movie 'Swordfish', your code always compiles and you didn't copy paste half of it from stackoverflow, you sir are a God, very well done.
Really impressive stuff! In graduate school I made an inverted pendulum and basically just tuned a PID until it stood upright lol. Now you have a cool physical system to test more advanced control methods though!
Holy shit, this is a true blast from the past. I had something like this in uni as a project to pass a course in control systems or some other similar subject. There was a motorized cart on a suspended rail with a pendulum (metal rod) attached to it, and the goal was to swing to and hold the pendulum in unstable equilibrium (basically up top, same as in the video) only by moving the cart left or right along the rail. The challenge was to achieve this with PID or LQ controller, if I remember correctly, and PID was the absolute terrible option. Its tuning was done as in video - random-ass numbers and see what happens. And of course, since it was the control theory related course, the true goal of this exercise was to solve a linear series of differential equations to get the theoretically perfect values of both PID and LQ params, which of course did not work because the cart and rail were constructed in 1990 and the acceleration was crap, so it was very much non ideal. Thanks BEC for reigniting my love-hate relationship with my uni courses :D
There’s something hilarious about enslaving a lego motor to balance an unstable system for eternity. “What is my purpose?” “You balance this stick forever.” “Oh my god.”
Very cool experiment! Calibrating PID settings, you seem have read the same paper we used to us as a reference; I recognize the same strategy (however, the last fine tuning always feels a bit at random for anybody :p).
I would love to see this attempted again but with 2 flywheels as it were. One Clockwise and one counterclockwise. It could make for a much stable system as there is no need for the slight delay in changing rotations and it is simply a matter of decreasing or increasing the power to each one seperatly.
I’m good with my hands and I’m amazing at math. No way I could figure out what any of this means tho lol. Engineering is ridiculous. Always wanted to go to school for it but didn’t feel like it.
I personally learned more in this "one cup of tea" episode then I would ever do so on the PID matter during my entire engineering course. Outstanding job!!
I'm really impressed by Your skills. You are lego designer, physicist, programmer and electronics engineer. Thanks for the effort You put into Your videos, good luck in future experiments!
@@alvlp-xyz Ngl, I’ve seen kids do some cool engineering stuff. Example is the kid in Mark Rober’s video. I’ve also seen a kid in a third world country solder and create some stuff out of discarded e-waste. The thing here is maybe you’ve never really tried to create things like this.
I think most people i STEM know at least some basic Python or C, because it's used all over the place (in fact a common complaint related to working in Python is having to work with code written by non-programmers)
@@EfeAksoy08 If you have no knowledge of Python, Lego, or physics, this won’t be interesting for you. Read the description or don’t, it’s not anyones responsibility to entertain you.
Instead of switching the target angle at a fixed frequency to avoid saturation, run a slower feedback loop that adjusts target angle as a function of motor acceleration. Essentially get it to search for a target angle where it doesn't need to accelerate. You could probably get it completely stationary that way.
Nice. So one control loop tries to minimize the angle difference between setpoint and actual angle, and another control loop adjusts the setpoint angle to minimize the motor effort
5:00 PID controller values : usually you set the P and D constants first, and end up with I part. The integral part is useful when current angle lags behind target, not for overall stability.
This is so epic. Coincidentally im doing this exact thing right now for a final project but using Non-linear backstepping control so it can swing up from any position. Nice job!!
I literally have no idea what's going on what they're coding or even what they're trying to achieve, but goddamn I sat thru everything mildly entertained and interested
@@tusharxo that is correct. it's a reaction wheel, which spins in reaction to it's angle being changed to get back to where it started. They're used in rockets, missiles, and other flying things.
I love it. Great project. How about a version with an arm that can freely rotate 360 degrees? Could it get up from neutral hanging down position? Could it deal with rotating the entire apparatus?
@@nikkiofthevalley Probably not with a simple PID controller like this but with a rigid arm and some extra code, you could get it to start swinging to the point where it does a 180 swing - you just reverse the reaction wheel direction at each end of the swing to load it in the opposite direction. It would take some work but it's imo doable. In high school I made a self-sustaining pendulum out of a mindstorms kit that only used a mass that was raised a few centimeters at the apex of the swing, and then released at the bottom - to model a children's swing set. It's pretty easy to get that to increase amplitude. That was attached via a string, though, so it couldn't do a full 180 swing... you need a rigid arm for that.
As a college student in aerospace engineering who is now learning PID controllers, this video is awesome. This is easily one of my top 3 channels, this is a great new topic and I can’t wait to see what’s next!
This is a really great intro to controls and dynamics! I especially like how you showed the effect of different kinds of control delay, and different mechanical setups that also had noticeably different stiffnesses 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
One question, what library did you use for the continuous plots? And how did you extract that data from your scripts? Just dumped out as text and plotted later or plotted on the fly?
Absolutely amazing work. The way that you are able to understand the meaning of formulas that there are behind an inverted pedulum and how do you implement them into the code and correct all the issues that apears during the development is incredible. I would like to be half as smart as you 😂
i know Jack shit about this kind of programming or math, but I do know from getting decent algebra grades, they give you the formulas so you learn how to plug and play with random numbers to see what happens. eventually if you get good at the world is your oyster
As a mechanical engineering student interested in mechatronics, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen. It makes me want to try something like it myself!
I think ANGLE_FIXRATE is playing a role similar to what you would get from clamping the integral term to avoid windup. Might try that to simplify the code
Wow, that's crazy. I've never actually thought about what an inverted pendulum means, I just know it's what you need to ride a unicycle, so with that in mind I wonder if this Lego robot could ride a unicycle?
There's at least one extra step missing here that basically means the answer is no. On a unicycle, you intentionally overbalance in one direction to get moving. This robot would not know to do that, or have any concept of navigation for that matter. Not to mention, this is a single axis inverted pendulum, and a unicycle not only has all three axes of rotation available, it also has two-and-some axes of movement. An attempt to convert this robot to a unicycle riding robot that could even remain stationary would be at least as complicated as making either robot from scratch, if not moreso.
@@Woodledude good point. I didn't mean navigating at all, but it does make sense what you say about rotation in other axes just to try and stay upright. I suppose you could remedy that by adding a track, like if the wheel on the bottom had an axel sticking out either side, you could rest that on an elevated surface to ensure it can only fall in one dimension, and perhaps use a gear on a gear track to keep friction better.
@@jblen Training wheels would probably be sufficient to reduce the balancing problem to effectively single axis. I have a suspicion the twist about the vertical axis might still pose unexpected issues with gyroscopic precession, but a sufficiently "calm" single-axis balancer could probably ignore that. Probably. Be interesting to see. Your track suggestion would definitely do it, but then we're reducing the problem so much as to be very nearly the original problem with a different coat of paint. On the flip side, if you can control the twist of the unicycle with gyroscopic precession, there might exist a highly optimized solution for a single-axis balancer to actually navigate effectively. I have NO idea if gyroscopic precession actually comes into play in a controllable way here, I haven't run through the logic in my head - This is all suspicion and speculation. But it's certainly interesting to muse on.
So cool seeing the gyroscopic effect being used this way , I have been amazed when learning about the physics of it . and I appreciate the engineering of it now .

That was just too beautiful! Everything else was well thought out and planned. and then this tuning "algorithm". Roll 3d100 and see what happens.
Nowadays you just put in some result parameters, and train the PID based on the results
