This wheel unicycle balancing robot can jump onto its wheels from any initial position

The Wheelbot is a wheel unicycle balancing robot developed by researchers at Max Planck Institute that jumps onto its wheels from any initial position. The unicycle balancing robot jumps onto its wheel from its initial position The robot can self-erect itself from any position either by rolling up with its rolling wheel, or by standing up using its reaction wheel. This wheel unicycle uses brushless motors with high torque-to-weight ratios. As a result, the Wheelbot has a better balance and can reject disturbances to a greater extent than previous reaction wheel unicycle robots. unicycle balancing robot disturbance rejection These robots…

Segway Robot (Two-Wheeled Robot)

Segway Robot (Two-Wheeled Robot)

Note: Segway Robot project was done during the years 2011 - 2013 when Madi was a Master's student. Study on two-wheeled robots started in late 1990 in different robotic labs in different countries. The main objective is to design a balanced two-wheeled robot that has human-like abilities. The main research challenge in these robots is the inherent instability of their dynamical system. These robots can be used as autonomous vehicles in companies, factories, or just to transport people. Mechanical Design of Segway Robot Actuator Modeling According to Kirchhoff's law: \[V_a - Ri - L\frac{di}{dt} - V_e = 0\] Newton's Law…
