Abstract
Ballbot is a robotic structure in which the robot self-balances on a ball by rotating wheels. This robot is a popular form of service robot. Developing controllers for this system provides academic tools for reality. In this paper, after presenting the dynamic equations of the ballbot, we design a Proportional Integrated Derivative (PID)-Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) combined (PID-LQR) controller to balance the robot on the ball. The simulation results show the success of this method. An experimental model of a ballbot is presented. In the experiment, PID-LQR combined controller also shows its ability to self-balancing for the ballbot. With this finding, a method of controlling this model is a reference for developing this service robot.
