BalanceBot

Inspiration

I want to build balancing robots.

What it does

It balances (sort of)

How I built it

I used arduino, a complimentary filter, and a PID loop

Challenges I ran into

The hardware platform has too much friction and isn't robust enough

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

It sort of works.

What I learned

Make better hardware

What's next for BalanceBot

Improve the platform, implement new control strategies (neural network, LQR controller, bang bang)

Built With

• arduino
