Low-cost double pendulum for high-quality data collection with open-source video tracking and analysis.

ABSTRACT: The double pendulum is a system that manifests fascinating non-linear behavior. This made it a popular tool in academic settings for illustrating the intricate response of a seemingly simple physical apparatus, or to validate tools for studying nonlinear phenomena. In addition, the double pendulum is also widely used in several modeling applications including robotics and human locomotion analysis. However, surprisingly, there is a lack of a thoroughly documented hardware that enables designing, building, and reliably tracking and collecting data from a double pendulum. This paper provides comprehensive documentation of a research quality bench top double pendulum. The contributions of our work include (1) providing detailed CAD drawings, part lists, and assembly instructions for building
