This project was a part of the course Applied Control and Sensor Fusion (http://www.control.isy.liu.se/student/graduate/AppliedControl/index.html) during summer and fall 2010. The goal of the course was to be a practical study of implementation issues, not always encountered in the life of a PhD student.
A segway was constructed using a LEGO Mindstorms NXT kit and a gyro, and the goal was to construct a self balancing segway. To do this the motor angles and the gyro measurements were available, and a working Simulink program. The main focus in this project has been to construct an observer.
The segway can be used for demos in basic control courses, and a manual can be found at the end of the report
