Abstract:In the last decade, the open source community has expanded to make it possible for people to build complex products at home. [1] In this thesis a two-wheeled self-balancing robot has been designed. These types of robots can be based on the physical problem of an inverted pendulum [2]. In this paper, we can see the design, construction and control of a two-wheel self-balancing robot. This system consists of a pair of DC motor and an Arduino UNO R3 microcontroller board, make a robot which can balance itself on two wheels the platform will not remain stable itself. Our job will be to balance the platform using distance sensors and to maintain it horizontally. At first, we have decided to just balance the robot on its two wheels.
