Anti-rolling gyro systems (ARG) were introduced long time ago for reducing the roll motion of ships caused by the ocean waves. These systems are composed of gyroscopic stabilizer, which typically controls the roll motion by generating some counteracting roll stabilizing torque. These systems are very sensitive to the outer disturbances and require robust control mechanism to maintain the stable state. In this work, gyroscopic inverted pendulum based on gyroscopic stabilizer is considered to develop control technique for reducing the roll motion effect of the system. The gyroscopic inverted system was modeled in MATLAB/Simulink and fuzzy logic based control technique was developed. The proposed control technique was implemented and tested with the practical system. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed system is compared with a typical PD type controller. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed system performs well and maintains a stable state under various disturbances.
