He received the Ingeniero Industrial and the Doctor Ingeniero Industrial degrees, both from the Universidad Polit´ecnica de Madrid, Spain, in 1965 and 1969, respectively. He is also Licenciado en Inform´atica by the same University.From 1965 to 1969 he was successively Assistant and Associate Professor at the Departamento de Autom´atica of the Universidad Polit´ecnica de Madrid. Since 1969 he has been Professor at the Escuela Superior de Ingenieros Industriales of the Universidad de Sevilla. In 1974 he was appointed Director of the Departamento de Autom´atica y Electr´onica. In the middle of the seventies he was a consultant for system dynamics applications to socioeconomic planning. Since then, his research interest are in the areas of theory and philosophy of dynamical systems modeling, with emphasis on the application of qualitative methods (bifurcations, qualitative change, chaos,...) to system dynamics models. He received the 1986 Jay W. Forrester Award for his contributions to this last research area. Now he is working on the application of dynamical systems qualitative theory to robust analysis of nonlinear control systems and to qualitative modeling. Among other prices, he has been awarded by the 1991 Premio Andalucia de Investigación, Honoree by the Sixth Biannual World Automation Congress WAC 2004, Medalla Puig Adam 2004 and Medalla de Honor al Fomento de la Invención 2005 by the Fundación García Cabrerizo.He is the author of numerous papers. He is co-author of the book Practice of Integrated Automation (North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1975edit

For at least fifty years, the inverted pendulum has been the most popular benchmark, among others, in nonlinear control theory. The fundamental focus of this work is to enhance the wealth of this robotic benchmark and provide an overall picture of historical and current trend developments in nonlinear control theory, based on its simple structure and its rich nonlinear model. In this review, we will try to explain the high popularity of such a robotic benchmark, which is frequently used to realize experimental models, validate the efficiency of emerging control techniques and verify their implementation. We also attempt to provide details on how many standard techniques in control theory fail when tested on such a benchmark. More than 100 references in the open literature, dating back to 1960, are compiled to provide a survey of emerging ideas and challenging problems in nonlinear control theory accomplished and verified using this robotic system. Possible future trends that we can ...

Este artículo presenta un estudio paramétrico preliminar para obtener un análisis cualitativo sobre la sintonización de los diferentes parámetros que componen la ley de control propuesta por Aracil y Gordillo [2] para el swing-up y estabilización del problema del péndulo invertido plano. La ley estudiada aquı resuelve ambos problemas sin conmutación entre leyes utilizando métodos de moldeo de energía. Palabras clave: péndulo invertido, moldeo de energía.
