Project Title

Self Balancing Bicycle

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

To design a self-balancing bicycle and automated that can be controlled by bluetooth application. There
are several ways in order to design an efficient self balancing bicycle which are by using mass balancing, steering control and reaction wheel. Based on previous research, the usage of Flywheel is the suitable choice since it can produce large amount of torque for balancing of bicycle and for movement of bicycle we use different motors to move bicycle turn right, left and forward further  details are explained in next paragraphs.

Project Objectives Project Implementation Method

BALANCING

We used flywheel technique for balancing of bicycle .There are two motors for balancing of bicycle

1.Primary motor of high rpm that is connected to flywheel

2.Secondary motor that moves primary motor

These motors are controlled by controller that gets data from senors we are using gyroscope sensor MPU 6050 and MPU 9250

If sensor detects any change in angle then motors will move accordingly to balance bicycle

MOVEMENT (Right,left and forward)

we used high torque motor for forward motion of bicycle and for right and left movement steering.Motor are adjusted with bicycle .Steering motoor is connected with handle through mesh gear and forward drive motor is connect with chain and gear to attain maximum efficiency

This bicycle can be controlled through bluetooth appliaction we use bluetooth module with contoller for this purpose.

Benefits of the Project

Bicycle is a common form of transportation and also can be a medium in exercising which have been used for years of many people. Bicycle also can serve to provide physical therapy, as they are a low impact form of exercise that can train balance, strength,stamina and coordination. Though one may consider riding a bicycle to be a fairly simple task, this is not the case for many people especially for young children, and adults who have never learned to ride a bicycle, injured people, or people suffering from developmental or cognitive disabilities. A system that could provide balancing assistance to a bicycle rider without otherwise affecting the experience of riding a bicycle could provide great benefit to these groups of individuals. Such a
system could be used both as a teaching tool, and as a
physically therapeutic device.
Recently, many investigations have been done
regarding to the problems of controlling two-wheeled
self-balancing robot, which are widely taken into
applications in the field of autonomous robotics and
intelligent vehicles.
 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Final deliverables inclule bicycle that will be fully automated and controlled through application 

This can be implemented as a product on simple bicycle to make it self balancing and automated with little adjustments
