An inverted pendulum is a classic problem in physics and engineering that involves a pendulum which is attached to a pivot point above its center of mass. This system is unstable because, unlike a regular pendulum that swings down into a stable equilibrium position, an inverted pendulum is in a natural unstable equilibrium when it is perfectly vertical. The dynamics of an inverted pendulum can be described using principles of mechanics.
