Abstract/Summary: In this paper, we build a physical 2D inverted pendulum-driven capsule system for the human adaptive mechatronics (HAM) study purpose. We conduct the empirical studies on the pendulum angle rotation profile to drive the capsule system using four types of control input cycles. The results show that the capsule system moves according to the used type of control input with difference speed and accuracy performance in 2D space. The movements aiming at a straight line is faster and more accurate than the movement with the specified initial angles.
