Neuromorphic Control of a Pendulum

Published 8 Apr 2024 in eess.SY and cs.SY | (2404.05339v3)

Abstract: We illustrate the potential of neuromorphic control on the simple mechanical model of a pendulum, with both event-based actuation and sensing. The controller and the pendulum are regarded as event-based systems that occasionally interact to coordinate their respective rhythms. Control occurs through a proper timing of the interacting events. We illustrate the mixed nature of the control design: the design of a rhythmic automaton, able to generate the right sequence of events, and the design of a feedback regulator, able to tune the timing of events.
