Inertial Rolling Robot

Two actuators control the steering and driving for the unique Inertial Rolling Robot, which is capable of inertial movement. A DC electric motor attached to a pendulum, which is suspended between the robot’s two wheels, provides the driving force. An LCP2138 microcontroller handles the motor control and logic.
