Using a Flywheel to Stabilize a Self-Balancing Bicycle
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: The designs of two linear control systems approach to stabilize the balance of an unmanned bicycle system are presented. Both approaches are based on the use of a reaction wheel or flywheel to balance the bicycle. The two linear control approaches, based on the linearization of a nonlinear model obtained using Lagrange formalism, are the classic linear controllers, PID and State Feedback control. The performance of both controllers is verified by digital simulation and real-time experimental results.
