This article presents a multiobjective approach to the design of the controller for the swing-up and handstand control of a general cart-double-pendulum system (CDPS).The designed controller,which is based on the human-simulated intelligent control (HSIC) method,builds up different control modes to monitor and control the CDPS during four kinetic phases consisting of an initial oscillation phase,a swing-up phase,a posture adjustment phase,and a balance control phase.For the approach,the original method of inequalities-based (MoI) multiobjective genetic algorithm (MMGA) is extended and applied to the case study which uses a set of performance indices that includes the cart displacement over the rail boundary,the number of swings,the settling time,the overshoot of the total energy,and the control effort.The simulation results show good responses of the CDPS with the controllers obtained by the proposed approach.
