Balancing Robot BCIT Mechatronics and Robotics Department

Balancing Robot - BCIT Mechatronics and Robotics Department - Student Project by Ryan and Justin.

The purpose of this project was to design a balancing robot. The robot uses an accelerometer and gyroscope to determine the tilt angle and its rate of change. A C program on an ATMEL 32 bit microcontroller monitors the sensor inputs and determines the motor signal required to keep the robot upright. The microcontroller sends the appropriate PWM signals to the motor drivers. This was their final project for the Mechatronics and Robotics department at BCIT, the British Columbia Institute of Technology.
