Acrobot Swing Up with MATLAB
Abstract
This note presents a solution of the swing-up task of two acrobots using trajectory optimization method. The equations of motion for 2-link and 3-link acrobot are manually derived, and then form the dynamics of the robots. Numerical integration method is used to simulate the behaviour of passive robots, with the goal of showing the correctness of the complicated dynamics of the 3-link acrobot. Direct collocation method is used to optimize the trajectory of state and control of the robots with bounds on both.
