This paper deals with the problem of friction measurement of an inverted pendulum system using the regression analysis and proposes a solution. The approach taken in this study is getting the friction from a regression relational expression between the motor voltage and the cart velocity of an inverted pendulum system. The result to compensate LQR (linear Quadratic Regulator) controller with the friction, which is measured in system, improved the performance of the system. Above all, the study has found that the proposed compensation of the friction reduces the oscillation of the cart position. In conclusion, the proposed method is useful when parameters in the given system model are not known
