Control of laboratory model of unstable balancing vehicle

This diploma thesis is a part of HUMMER project. The project deals with three student’s development of two-wheeled unstable vehicle Segway type and its diminished laboratory model. This thesis deals with reviviscence of laboratory model, design of its control and realization of its actuating (a more detailed breakdown of tasks in the project is shown below). At the beginning of the work is presented reviewed study. The first part of study deals with similar models in the world, their construction and way of control. In the next part of reviewed study follows description of a real model and derivation of model basic equations, in the last part of search is given principle of operation of some used sensors. The next step was the selection and design of required electronics. In this capture are described all designed electronic modules and used sensors. There are also given parameters of used batteries and motors. The next task was the estimation of system parameters. The estimation was made by sections, in the capture is in detail described way of measuring data and structuring of estimation model. The penultimate step was design of PID and LQR controller using I/O card MF 624 and their comparing. Following thing was choice of better regulator and its implementation to the microprocessor. The last step was the realization of actuating driving of model by joystick and supreme PC
