New video of robot rolling, falling, trundling, down stairs.
My self-balancing robot falls a lot so I needed a way to get it back up on it's wheels - so deconstructed some badminton rackets (sissy sport anyway) and mounted them on my robot in hopes it would roll the robot back upright if it falls over. Have to see the video to see how well they work. My robot is still using bang-bang control and the CG is a little off hence it easily falls over. Also due to 60rpm servo motors which requires the huge wheels to get enough speed to catch a fall. It does balance better if I move CG inboard a bit. Going to order some 220rpm motors so I can use smaller wheels. Don't know how the rollbars will work with smaller wheels, should be interesting to find out. Rock on man!
I think you need servos with better speed or a better system.
No offense the robot doesn’t look manuverable enough to stay balanced for a long time. Either you need better servos with greater speed and less torque or you need a better system and what I mean by that is better code. But not bad idea though.
I finally got a real self balancing robot working. One version even uses neural net. Still suffers from moving around a bit on its own but its a work in progress.
