Modeling and control of dual motor Ball & Bean system

Ball and beam balancer system is very popular and widely used in control system engineering due to its simple modeling and easy understanding. The conventional ball and beam balancer system is with a single motor (SMBB) and recently a new variant of ball and beam balancer system with dual motors (DM...
