The Segway Robot

Segway Robot with Accelerometers

Introduction The objective of this project was to create a two-wheeled balance bot able to traverse a flat environment and adjust itself to shifts in position and weight, using a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) feedback control loop to keep the robot upright. The balance bot is essentially a wirelessly controlled segway that leans its body forward and
