A Laboratory device is designed to emulate the Segway motion, modifying the Furuta pendulum experiment. To copy the person on the Segway transportation unit to the Furuta pendulum, a second pendulum is added to the main one. Using LMI theory, the control objective consists to manipulate the base of the Furuta pendulum according to the inclination of the added pendulum whereas the coupled pendulums are maintained near to theirs upright positions. According to the inclination of the second pendulum, the base will rotate as long as the second pendulum remains inclined, emulating the Segway behavior. The base rotation will depend on the side of the inclination too. Experimental results are offered too (video link: http://youtu.be/SHQdW3k3qiE).
