Gyrobot a Two Wheel Balancing Robot: 

Gyrobot a Two Wheel Balancing Robot Larry Barello http://www.barello.net/Robots/Gyrobot

How Balancing Works: 

How Balancing Works Easier to balance high GC object. The Devil is in the details. Balanced Tilted Sense tilt and drive wheels to make robot erect.

How Balancing Works: 

How Balancing Works Restoring Torque =  * K  = Angular rate (deg/sec) K = some factor based upon robot mass & moment arm.

How Balancing Works: 

How Balancing Works Balance torque = M * g * sin(angle) M is moment arm (center of mass & distance from pivot). g = acceleration of gravity Angle is deviation from balance point

Controlling Drive Torque: 

Controlling Drive Torque As velocity increases, DC motors have less torque (back-EMF) Need to correct this so balance equation can work. Positive velocity feedback Drive = drive + Kv * velocity Kv = factor based upon motor specification.

How to move: 

The robot tilts in the direction of movement. How to move To move robot, need to adjust “balance angle” By adding an error to the angle, the robot will drive a little backwards, then forwards trying to maintain the “balance angle” Error can be simply a negative drive value.

Tilt Sensor: 

Tilt Sensor Gyroscope measures Rate Of Turn. Integrate for angle Gyroscopes drift Drift changes with temperature

Tilt Sensor: 

Tilt Sensor Accelerometers measure gravity. Affected by movement. Very accurate.

Fusing Gyro and Tilt sensors: 

Fusing Gyro and Tilt sensors Weighted Average Filter. Use fraction of error between tilt and gyro Add to integrated Gyro output. Results are fast & drift free The weighted average IIR filter technique can be used to smooth out any noisy signal.

Fusing Gyro and Tilt sensors: 

Fusing Gyro and Tilt sensors Weighted Average Filter. Tiltgyro = Sum(Gyro – Offset) Tiltaccel = sin-1(x/g) Tiltgyro = Tiltgyro + (Tiltaccel – Tiltgyro) * K Gyro Accelerometer  + + + - K Tilt Offset - K = weighting factor (1%)

Alternate to Tilt Sensor: 

Alternate to Tilt Sensor F = g * sin(theta) F = A * m A * M = g * sin(theta) Theta = sin-1(A * m/g) Presumably we can use the acceleration of the robot to infer the angle of tilt and correct for gyro drift. (Note: Moment arm not included, formulas must be wrong) m = mass A = Acceleration M/S2 g = Gravity F = force

Motion Sensor: 

Motion Sensor Encoders measure position and velocity of wheels. Dead reckoning can be derived from encoders and the robots position determined in X, Y and Theta.

Current Status: 

Current Status Motion control not implemented. Navigation disabled. Remote control (Radio link) not implemented. Using acceleration to correct tilt not tried. In short, it doesn’t do anything interesting yet.
