Dynamics and Control of an Inverted Pendulum with Delayed Feedback Control: Study and Evaluation of the Wireless Communication effect

Wireless automation was applied to applications where wire line connections are impossible such as the adjustment of satellites directions in space. Because of the availability of sophisticated, reliable, and inexpensive wireless connections, engineers are looking nowadays for new applications and improvements of the existing automation and control systems by exploiting the capabilities of wireless connections. Replacing wirelines by wireless connections in automation systems is a plus for flexibility and cost reduction to automation applications. However, it will also present challenges and performance concerns that have to be investigated. Random delays due to wireless connections lead to concerns about stability, and reliability of the wireless automated system. Power consumption of wireless transceivers in some applications is of high importance because of its effect on battery life time. The prototype under Consideration in this study will be an Inverted Pedulum featured with wired commnication links, and for which wireless links should be implemented and adopted to the project purpose.
