## Self-balancing robots with gyro sensor

|
|
Based on RobotSquare's [8] and HiTechnic's documentation [9], we will try to implement our own balancing robot using a Gyro Sensor.

|
|
### Setup & Approach
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As an initial study, we will use the test class [GyroTest.java](http://legolab.cs.au.dk/DigitalControl.dir/NXT/Lesson5.dir/Lesson5Programs/GyroTest.java) to get familiar with the Gyro Sensor's behavior.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Setup & Approach
|
|
Afterwards, we will try to apply our findings and use the Gyro Sensor's values as input to the PID controller.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We use [these building instructions](http://robotsquare.com/2012/02/12/tutorial-building-segway/) to build our NXT Segway [10]. The build can be seen in the following pictures.
