Development of a prototype of Self Balancing Robot for Education

Abstract

This research was aimed 1) to design and develop a prototype of Self Balancing Robot for Education, 2) to evaluate the effectiveness of prototype of Self Balancing Robot for Education and 3) to try out prototype of Self Balancing Robot for Education. The research and development process are divided into 4 steps: 1) Design the structure, 2) Analysis and design of the control system using the complementary filter, 3) Installation and assembly of equipment for develop PID control system and calculate parameters by Ziegler-Nichols method with trial and error tuning method and 4) Testing and improving the performance of the control system. This research applied materials and equipment that are available in the market. The Aluminum structure is 100 x 40 x 45 centimeters. From testing the performance of the Self Balancing robot. Found robot able to move in all 4 patterns. Turn left, turn right, walk backward and forward at a speed of 10 m/min. And used in teaching, found the overall satisfaction with a sample size of 26 students, found the teaching materials of the prototype of Self Balancing Robot was at a good level. (X = 3.88, S.d. = 0.49) Suitable for use as a teaching material in courses related to robotics and industrial control systems.
