Autonomous Balancing Robot

Project Description

Project: Designed, built, programmed, & tested an Arduino-based autonomous robot (1 point of contact), capable of moving while balancing and stabilizing (given disturbances); achieved ‘Segway’ balance (nested PID including IR sensor-based proximity control) and preliminary roll (using reaction wheel). Used system modeling; data analysis in MATLAB.
Course: MECH 400 Design Project
