Single axis self-balancing reaction wheel inverted pendulum.
This thing is inherently unstable and a common challenge in control theory.
The mechanical structure is built using only Lego parts.
Motor is also Lego. Angle sensor and electronics are not Lego.
Enjoy!

You can model the whole setup, throw it into a block diagram, and calculate out the correct parameters. Seems a little silly with something this simple but it pretty important in chemical processes etc where trial and error isn't feasible.

Instead of switching the target angle at a fixed frequency to avoid saturation, run a slower feedback loop that adjusts target angle as a function of motor acceleration. Essentially get it to search for a target angle where it doesn't need to accelerate. You could probably get it completely stationary that way.
@Frits34000

If you want more precision. You could use 2 wheel instead of 1. 1 for clockwise and 1 for count clockwise. Meaning the wheels keep going in the same directions and less jerking back and forth. As less accelaration is needed.

One the other hand, due to the increased total reactive weight, this setup would have twice the saturation margin as the single wheel setup. When one wheel is nearing saturation, the angular momentum could be transferred to the other wheel. You could do this by decelerating the saturated one at the same time as accelerating the other one in the same direction. During this operation, it's possible to not apply any torque, but one could also incorporate this to always run in the background by differentially moving the two wheels in concert. On the other other hand, doing the above would require one to move at least one wheel in both directions, doing away with the benefit frim the OP.

@@nikkiofthevalley Probably not with a simple PID controller like this but with a rigid arm and some extra code, you could get it to start swinging to the point where it does a 180 swing - you just reverse the reaction wheel direction at each end of the swing to load it in the opposite direction. It would take some work but it's imo doable. In high school I made a self-sustaining pendulum out of a mindstorms kit that only used a mass that was raised a few centimeters at the apex of the swing, and then released at the bottom - to model a children's swing set. It's pretty easy to get that to increase amplitude. That was attached via a string, though, so it couldn't do a full 180 swing... you need a rigid arm for that.

I had the same exact thought. Should be fairly easy to implement in python using tensorflow. To reduce the training time on the physical application, you could start by training a model against an ideal physics simulation and then refine it by training on the real thing. The same way you manually "trained" your parameters by starting from the upright position, you could also train the neural network in stages by adding an automated righting mechanism so the initial training code can initially start from a the upright position and learn how to hold this position, before increasing the difficulty and let it learn how to startup from one of the extreme positions. Would be very interesting to see how the neural network can deal with the sensor noise, delays and perhaps even changing variables like the vibration of longer arms. The layout of the neural network could be as simlpe as a time series of sensor data as input and a single motor speed value as output; the fitness function could be as simple as a penalty exponential to the radial distance from the target plus penalties for "radical" motor movement.

This is probably one of the best videos about PID in a practical way you will find in KZbin. If only I had had this in my school years, control theory would have been easier. Keep it up with the good work! (and more videos like this pls ☺)

Really impressive stuff! In graduate school I made an inverted pendulum and basically just tuned a PID until it stood upright lol. Now you have a cool physical system to test more advanced control methods though!

Wow, that's crazy. I've never actually thought about what an inverted pendulum means, I just know it's what you need to ride a unicycle, so with that in mind I wonder if this Lego robot could ride a unicycle?
@Woodledude
@Woodledude 2 жыл бұрын
There's at least one extra step missing here that basically means the answer is no. On a unicycle, you intentionally overbalance in one direction to get moving. This robot would not know to do that, or have any concept of navigation for that matter. Not to mention, this is a single axis inverted pendulum, and a unicycle not only has all three axes of rotation available, it also has two-and-some axes of movement. An attempt to convert this robot to a unicycle riding robot that could even remain stationary would be at least as complicated as making either robot from scratch, if not moreso.
@jblen
@jblen 2 жыл бұрын
@@Woodledude good point. I didn't mean navigating at all, but it does make sense what you say about rotation in other axes just to try and stay upright. I suppose you could remedy that by adding a track, like if the wheel on the bottom had an axel sticking out either side, you could rest that on an elevated surface to ensure it can only fall in one dimension, and perhaps use a gear on a gear track to keep friction better.
@Woodledude
@Woodledude 2 жыл бұрын
@@jblen Training wheels would probably be sufficient to reduce the balancing problem to effectively single axis. I have a suspicion the twist about the vertical axis might still pose unexpected issues with gyroscopic precession, but a sufficiently "calm" single-axis balancer could probably ignore that. Probably. Be interesting to see. Your track suggestion would definitely do it, but then we're reducing the problem so much as to be very nearly the original problem with a different coat of paint. On the flip side, if you can control the twist of the unicycle with gyroscopic precession, there might exist a highly optimized solution for a single-axis balancer to actually navigate effectively. I have NO idea if gyroscopic precession actually comes into play in a controllable way here, I haven't run through the logic in my head - This is all suspicion and speculation. But it's certainly interesting to muse on.
