Self-balancing Scooter.

Within several student projects, diploma thesis and research projects this Mini - Segway was designed. The main tasks of this robot are several control strategies which stabilize the robot in the upright position and enable a trajectory control. Current research is done in the implementation of human-machine interfaces. Thereby a Microsoft Kinect, which is fitted into the head of the Segway, as well as a Tablet should serve as intuitive joysticks for trajectory input.
