abstract = {A bond graph method is used to examine qualitative aspects of a class of unstable under-actuated mechanical systems. It is shown that torque actuation leads to an unstabilisable system, whereas velocity actuation gives a controllable system which has, however, a right-half plane zero. The fundamental limitations theory of feedback control when a system has a right-half plane zero and a right-half plane pole is used to evaluate the desirable physical properties of coaxially coupled inverted pendula. An experimental system which approximates such a system is used to illustrate and validate the approach.},
