Development of two-wheeled balancing scooter

Abstract

In this paper, the design and construction of two-wheeled balancing scooter based on principle of the inverted pendulum that it must keep an angle of zero degree due to vertical line in time. The mechanical structure, electronic circuit and algorithm are developed to control motors and gyroscope sensor is used as detector of angle error due to vertical line. The mathematical model to describe the dynamic behavior of balancing system is analyzed, which stabilizes the handle angle of scooter in stable position. A basic implementation of the PID controller is conducted to compensate nonlinear behavior. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
