Augmented Arthropod by Grzegorz Lochnicki and Nicolas Kubail Kalousdian is an innovative self-balancing robot that is actually piloted by the movements of an insect placed inside a plastic case using two HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors. The structure for the build consists of three platforms separated on threaded rod and a couple of rather standard DC gear…
A self-balancing robot is a great way to get introduced to control theory and robotics in general. The ability for a robot to sense its position and its current set of circumstances and then to make a proportional response to accomplish its goal is key to all robotics. While hobby robots might use cheap servos or…
Another interesting educational project on kickstarter, Balanbot is a self balancing robot designed in Open Source The self-balancing Robot is an interesting educational toy. Many friends around us were trying to build one, but they encountered many challenges including the lack of the parts that are easy to assemble, suitable electronic circuits, and sample programs….
A cool kid’s project, looking for funds! Looks like on the way to get funded. Smiley face A low-cost, open-source, Arduino-compatible balancing robot for learning, hacking and delight How it started Last winter, I promised my eight-year-old son to build a little balancing robot that he could program. One thing led to another, and this robot…
We came across a very nice teaching project for a self balancing small robot so we decided to feature it as it could be a nice project (and it’s all open source) to experiment with self balancing (anc controls). After I built the tiny balancing robot using an IR sensor for stabilization, there was a comment…
