Ball and beam

The ball and beam system is a classic problem in control theory and mechanical engineering. It typically consists of a horizontal beam (which may tilt) and a ball that can roll along it. The main objectives in this system usually involve controlling the position of the ball along the beam or maintaining it at a desired position, often by changing the angle of the beam. ### Key Components: 1. **Beam**: A straight structure that can pivot around a fixed point, allowing it to tilt at various angles.
