Mounted laterally on the unicycle chassis, the pendulum provides a means of controlling the unicycle balance in the lateral (left-right) direction. Longitudinal (forward-backward) balance is achieved by controlling the unicycle wheel, a mechanism exactly the same as that of wheeled inverted pendulum. In this paper, the pendulum-balancing concept is explained and the dynamics model of an autonomous unicycle balanced by such mechanism is derived by Lagrange-Euler formulation. The behavior is analyzed by dynamic simulation in MATLAB. Dynamics comparison with wheeled inverted pendulum and Acrobot is also performed. © 2011 IEEE. | Source Title: | IEEE Conference on Robotics, Automation and Mechatronics, RAM - Proceedings | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/71383 | ISBN: | 9781612842509 | ISSN: | 2158219X | DOI: | 10.1109/RAMECH.2011.6070455 |
