Actively controlled bicycle robot with steering-based balancing

Steering-based balancing and lean angle tracking of a downsized bicycle robot via Linear Parameter-Varying Control Video shows an example test with varying velocity This demonstration is the outcome of a graduation assignment completed by ir. Rick van ’t Ende at the University of Twente, MS3 Department in December 2021. The assignment was supervised jointly by Dr. Hakan Köroğlu (from the Chair of Precision Engineering) and Dr.ir. Ronald Aarts (from the Chair of Applied Mechanics and Data Analysis). The bicycle robot used in the assignment was built by ir. Robert Giesen within the scope of a prior graduation assignment completed in July 2019 under the supervision of Dr.ir. Ronald Aarts. A scientific publication summarizing the essential technical details of the work is currently within the review process. Film by Rick van 't Ende
