Studies and Research on an Inverted Pendulum-Type Mobile Robot

This paper presents a comprehensive study on the development and analysis of a mobile robot based on the inverted pendulum concept, a challenging system due to its inherent instability and non-linear dynamics. The primary objective of the research is to design and implement a control system that ensures the robot's balance and mobility in real-time environments. The inverted pendulum model, commonly used in robotics to test control algorithms, is employed due to its simplicity yet high sensitivity to control inputs. A dynamic model of the system is derived, and various control strategies are explored, including Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control and state-space representation. The robot's mechanical structure, sensor integration, and actuation are designed to support the complex control requirements. Simulation and experimental testing are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithms, highlighting their performance in maintaining balance under various conditions such as external disturbances and uneven terrain. Results demonstrate that the implemented control system successfully stabilizes the robot, achieving a high degree of accuracy and responsiveness. The article contributes to the field of mobile robotics by providing insights into the control of highly unstable systems and offer potential applications in areas such as autonomous transportation, robotics education, and dynamic balancing devices.
