Below is a demonstration of an one-stage Inverted Pendulum controlled by a Fuzzy Java Controller generated by FIDE™, a fuzzy design tool by Aptronix, Inc. The blue box underneath is a roller cart controlled by a motor that pulls it to the left or right according to the controller's command. A red ball is attached to the pendulum on top of the roller cart. The goal of the controller is to use a motor to keep the pendulum in balance and the roller cart at the center at all times.  The X and Theta values, displayed on the window, are respectively the cart distance from the center and angle of the pendulum from the vertical direction (both should be close to 0.00). Loading Java program ... Please be patient -- Press "Start" now.
