A pendulum path tracking implemented in Hardware-In-the-Loop

Abstract

This paper presents a pendulum for path tracking implemented in Hardware-In-the Loop (HIL). The virtual plant simulation and the data acquisition hardware of the system sensor (encoder) were developed in Simulink/Matlab R17a, using two electronic boards, STM32F407VG and Sensoray 626. The tests included a comparison between the complete simulation and the HIL platform, which validated its performance.
