AbstractThe research about the ballbots are growing intensively due to the facts the they can be used in any application and due to their wide range capability. The ballbot, which is an unstable system, will be controlled steadily by the usage of PID algorithms and omnidirectional wheels to drive and balance the robot on a spherical ball. This allows the robot to have the contact only on a single point between the robot and the ground which allows the robot to move in any direction immediately and instantaneously which gives the rich movement actions. The stabilizers will be used for handling the fragile materials and spillable liquids. The robot will have pitch and yaw stabilizer on the top of the robot while standing on the spherical ball. This project aims to gain knowledge for control PID algorithms for both pitch and yaw stabilizer and balancing on a sphere with the usage of four omnidirectional wheels. The project will also have the complementary filter for receiving the data from the noisy gyro/accelerometer to obtain the stable angle measurements for both stabilizer on the top and the ballbot at the bottom.
