Self balancing robot

Abstract

To make a robot which can balance itself on two wheels. There will be only one axle connecting the two wheels and a platform will be mounted on that .There will be a another platform above it . The platform will not remain stable itself.Our job will be to balance the platform using distance sensors and to maintain it horizontal. At first we have decided to just balance the robot on its two wheels .If the platform inclines then microcontroller(in this case it is Arduino) will send signals to motors such that motors would move forward or backward depending on the inclination direction and extent.So if the platform tilts forward then motors will run forward and viceversa to keep the platform horizontal.For this we will need to code the Arduino in order to perform job according to this.
