Introduction
A unicycle reaction wheel helps keep a unicycle balanced by spinning a wheel inside it. When the unicycle starts to tip over, the spinning wheel moves to keep it upright.
This project focuses on developing a unicycle stabilization system using a reaction wheel mechanism. Key components include the TB6612 motor driver, ICM 20948 IMU, Arduino Nano ESP32, and the SC15 servo.
Conceptual Design:
Novelty
The unique feature of this project is the use of a servo to tilt the flywheel. This results in gyroscopic precision, allowing us to make left or right turns while in motion.
Goal
- The main objective is to achieve stable balance and smooth directional control of the unicycle using electronics and control algorithms.
- Experiment with the servo by tilting the wheel and make the robot turn around while it's in motion.
Here some picture of my prototype.
Current Update:
Recently Purchase BLDC Actuator for FOC control. Compared to traditional Brushed DC motors, BLDC motors with FOC control provide enhanced precision, higher efficiency, and longer lifespan, making them ideal for advanced and demanding applications.
