Modeling and Simulation of Self-stabilizing Platform for Industrial Application
摘要
The work presented addresses the creation of a self-stabilizing platform for industrial applications using MPU6050 sensors and a microcontroller. The MPU6050 sensor is designed to identify sway in X, Y and Z axes which are referred as roll, pitch and yaw. The microcontroller processes the gyroscope and accelerometer data and gives input to two servomotors that work to maintain the tray's position at a predetermined fixed orientation. Arduino microcontroller and MPU6050 sensor are analyzed for their usage in the self-stabilizing tray. The idea to create a self-stabilizing tray was inspired by the gyroscope principle. Even when the Gimbals supporting it are turned toward outside influences, the gyroscope keeps its alignment. The design was developed in the SolidWorks package. The prototype model utilizing thermocol sheets and cardboard was constructed. Simulation of the microcontroller, MPU6050 and servo motors used MATLAB software. The constructed self-balancing tray had a lot of potentials. Modeling and simulation of the self-stabilizing/self-balancing based on gyro are presented for the requirements to industrial application and the elderly people. The self-stabilizing gyrotray can also be used for industrial applications like material handling equipment, automated guide vehicle and so on.
