The Acrobot is an underactuated system with two links and resembles a human acrobat balancing on a high-bar. Only the "elbow" joint is actuated. The "shoulder" joint has no actuation.

This video shows the performance of a feedback controller that makes the Acrobot swing up and balance in the upright position. The balancing controller is a nonlinear controller designed using SDSOS programming.

(The Acrobot was built by Zack Jackowski).
