Abstract: The notion of analyzing and synthesizing systems to be controlled from the viewpoint of physics is proposed in this paper. Firstly the human-imitating intelligent control theory based on physical models is presented, then its detailed application to stabilizing the parallel-type inverted pendulum is introduced. At last,both the experiment results of human-imitating control and slide mode control are given, and the conclusion also is derived from the comparison.

Key words: human-imitating intelligent control, physical model, reduction, parallel-type inverted pendulum
