In this paper, we propose a method for swing-up and stabilization of a SESIP(Self-Erecting Single Inverted Pendulum) system which is one of the typical nonlinear systems. We use PV(Proportional velocity) controller for swinging up the pendulum and employ a PI-type state-feedback controller for stabilizing the pendulum. Control is switched to a stabilizing controller, which is designed to balance the inverted position of pendulum and the cart position to the near vertical position. Computer simulations are performed to illustrate the control performance of the proposed scheme.
