This page is my past records about self-balancing robot. My mother language is not English but I have summarized my past works by English for some people of foreigner ask me about my work.

I have developed several types of self-balancing robot these six month. I was mechanical engineer but don't have knowledge about programming. About six month ago, I have started programming of Arduino and my first sketch was LED blinking.　From then, some types of remote control vehicle have been developed but it is not interesting for me. These are easy to make for me.

One day, I have found self-balancing robot from some web blog. It is very interesting for me. I immediately start to make it.
Movie-1 is my first work. It is 130 mm diameter disc size. It was stood only few seconds but very impressed one for me.

Movie-1

Movie-2 is the second machine, high gravity position is the temporary style of balancing robot. It was stand up longer period than first machine.

Movie-2

Movie-3 is the third machine. It is constructed by geared-DC motors, MPU6050 gyro sensor and IR remote sensor. It stand up perfectly and move by IR remote control device.

Movie-3

Movie-4 & Photo-1 is the improved machine of third one. Battery position moved to lower position and changed to nRF24L1 remote control module. The controller was changed to joystick controller. It was more stable and easy to control. I have satisfied it but I had not to seen overly small size self-balancing robot. I have decided to make next one is as small as possible.

Movie-4

Movie-5 & Photo-2 is the palm-top size machine. It is 100mm wide and 130g weight.



Movie-5

These are all of my developed machines.
