Abstract

The research on two-wheeled balancing robot has increase over the last decade in a number of robotics laboratories around the world. This is due to the inherent unstable dynamics of the system. Such robots are characterized by the ability to balance on its two wheels and spin on the spot. This additional maneuverability allows easy navigation on various terrains, turn sharp comers and traverse small steps or curbs. These capabilities have the potential to solve a number of challenges in industry and society. As example, a motorized wheelchair utilizing this technology would give the operator greater maneuverability and thus access to places most able-bodied people take for granted. Small carts I cycles built utilizing this technology allows humans to travel short distances in a small area or factories as opposed to using cars or buggies that need more space required to operate.
