Overview / Usage

This project is focused on designing a mechanical structure of an unmanned bicycle and a controller by using a classic control, PD control and applies it to AU Self-balancing Bicycle (AUSB). The main objective of this project is to control the balancing ability of the bicycle automatically. The main concept applying in this project is the Gyroscopic effect. Data obtained from the Gyroscope sensor will be the process variable (θpv) of the controlling system, which will be captured in a dsPIC microcontroller. This microcontroller will control the output in term of percentage of Pulse-Width-Modulation (PWM) with the value appropriate due to the error obtained from the Gyroscope sensor and send this output to control the direction of the flywheel.
