Design of 2-Wheels Self- Balancing Robot using RF Module
Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject SummarySelf Balancing Robot is one such step which promotes that a robot should be able to have locomotion using the balancing capabilities just as the humans also possess. This opens for the robots a plethora of task types which they can perform in the way humans do, like to lift up some load/mass etc. The Self Balancing Robot Project consists of an Atmega328 microcontroller controlled system which with the help of its sensors mounted on the robot is able to balance the robot in upright posture and to control the forward/backward, left/right motion it uses a remote control unit consist of RF Module. Similarly load/mass is also lifted by the up/down motion of the elevator controlled through remote control unit. If the robot is given a jerk in forward direction to tilt it in forward direction then it will oppose that force and try to be in the balanced position as it was. Similar is the thing for force from any direction on the robot, it will always try to remain balanced. The robot also has excellent direction sense which helps it avoid any divergence of its course to another even if forced to do so. The abilities of this robot is acheived with help of inputs from acceleromter and gyro sensors and outputs to the motor control section of the robot. Thus the user can take advantage of its seamless balancing and directional abilities of this battery operated self balancing as a step in advancing towards modern era in robotics.

- The two-wheeled design of the self-balancing robot significantly increases its maneuverability, because it reduces the turn radius to zero. The vehicle can rotate in place to instantly change its direction of motion and precisely navigate tight spaces that a three or four-wheeled robot cannot.
- Additionally, while a passively balanced, stable-equilibrium system may tip over the instant it is put off balance, an actively balancing, unstable-equilibrium system like the Self balancing robot can take actions to recover if its balance is temporarily disturbed. This stability-enhancing behavior directly mimics the natural behavior of a human that avoids a fall by taking a step in the direction of motion.
- It can also lift up load/mass and transport it from one place to other.
The Self Balancing Robot is a Two-wheeled Robot that balances vertically using a closed-loop algorithm. This Robot is controllable by a remote control unit that consist of RF module. Self Balancing robot uses data from the Accelerometer and Gyroscope to correct its orientation and position. The Robot uses weight lifting mechanism to transport load/mass from one place to other.
