Self-Balancing Robot Using PD Controller

The self-balancing robot has various applications such as logistics, warehousing, restaurant, research, and development. In this project, a self-balancing robot using a proportional–derivative (PD) controller was implemented with LabVIEW on a myRIO device. The robot uses encoders to track the position, and speed and identify the direction of the motor shaft of DC motors. Enabling precise control through PWM signals. Feedback from gyro and accelerometer sensors provides immediate data on the robot's orientation, position, and velocity permitting the PD controller to make rapid adjustments. Communication with the robot is recognized via WiFi. The motor controller board plays an important role in translating control signals into motor actions, ensuring stability, and balance, and providing safety to myRIO. This self-balancing robot system displays the effectiveness of LabVIEW, myRIO, and sensor feedback in achieving balance.
