AbstractA bicycle robot is one kind of mobile robots that can balance itself in upright position automatically. At present, there are several researches present the different balancing control techniques of bicycle robot. In this research, a double-gyroscope is proposed to control the balancing of the bicycle robot due to this technique can balance the bicycle robot at the stationary point and carry load. This research consists of main sections as follows; design concept, dynamic model, control algorithm and simulation and experiment result. To implement this research, PID and LQR controller are applied to control the balancing of the bicycle robot since they are simple control algorithm and easy to understand. Simulation and experiment result are shown in the last section. They show that the system can achieve follow the target or not. In addition, the last section also presents the performance of each controller.
