1.1 Background and RationaleRobotics are becoming an important part of the new social technology (Hirai 2012)

Todays generation, robot was improved by using microprocessor, software, cameras, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (Shaksham, 2013).

Robot enthusiast still find the answers on what kind of robot that can be able to maneuver easily on a difficult track which would be harder to execute for the multi-wheeled vehicle.

Exploration of Two-wheeled Balancing Robot maneuver control using smartphones

Robotic Technology is moving beyond the world of manufacturing and entering new industries in the 21st century. Robotics play a major role in manufacturing assembly lines, whilst developing useful roles assisting with medical procedures, surveillance, research, rescue, entertainment, educational, and underwater exploration.

Robot technology is not only entering new industries but it is also entering the domestic field with the use of control systems

Numerous robotic vehicles have been developed to execute this kind of task for example the autonomous forklift mobile robot of Boston Dynamics, which intended to carry loads. Though, robots have been developed and controlling it through wireless connection is widely used. Robot enthusiast still find the answers on what kind of robot that can be able to maneuver easily on a difficult track which would be harder to execute for the multi-wheeled vehicle.21.2 Statement of the Problem

1. What should be the design of the Smartphone controlled two-wheeled balancing robot?

2. How to develop a Smartphone controlled two-wheeled balancing robot in reference to desired outcome?

3. How well does a Smartphone controlled two wheeled balancing robot meet the selected evaluation parameters?

31.3 Objectives

To design Smartphone controlled two-wheeled balancing robot utilizing Gizduino microcontroller.

To develop and implement a Smartphone controlled two-wheeled balancing robot that can be incorporated with the Gizduino based microcontroller.

To evaluate the performance of a Smartphone controlled two wheeled balancing robot base on the evaluation parameters as reference to test the reliability of the mobile robot.

1.4 Significance of the Study

Avenue for the development of skills in software designing and developing hardware components for Artificial Intelligence applications

Geared towards developing intelligent or autonomous robots that could be used for most in industrial, and educational application

Skills in software design in making autonomous robots capable of balancing its own body and able to run in any direction using Smartphone as well as vision system and controls.

51.5 Theoretical Framework

drive the wheels in the direction that the upper part of the robot is falling. If the wheels can be driven in such a way as to stay under the robot's center of gravity, the robot remains balanced. In practice this requires two feedback sensors: a tilt or angle sensor to measure the tilt of the robot with respect to gravity, and wheel encoders to measure the position of the base of the robot.61.6 Scope and Limitation

Covers only the Design and Development of a Smartphone Controlled Two Wheeled balancing Mobile Robot Utilizing Gizduino Microcontroller

The mobile robot will move as long as the program is loaded to the microcontroller and can be controlled using a Smartphone.

The mobile robot is designed only to perform in dry land areas, and it is not applicable in windy locations

METHODOLOGY

Explain: The methodological framework is essential to draw out the study and it intends to embark the following process shown below.

8Robot Designing

Planning is part of the standard operating procedure of conducting a research. After planning, designing then takes place follow by prototyping.

Explain: that is why it does not need to be reflected in Figure 3.1 in the previous page. Follow up: In order to design the system, a literature research on two- wheeled balancing mobile robots is first carried out. After carrying out a field study on the types of two- wheeled balancing mobile robots available, a set of criteria in which the design must meet is determined.

9 Material Selection

In robot designing, the researchers will consider the properties of the materials will be using and its suitability to the design.

Explain: However, there are many different types of materials that can be use in the construction of this mobile robot.10RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS4.1 Challenges Encountered During Prototyping

12CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

The study conducted on the characterization of a Smartphone Controlled two wheeled balancing mobile robot was totally fulfilled especially in terms of its mobility and functionality.

CONCLUSIONThe conceptualization of a Gizduino-based balancing mobile robot is attainable and could further boost students interest in science and technologyThe use of DC motor with built in encoder was proven to be an effective way on mobilizing the balancing robot.

Recommendationsa. More ultrasonic sensor must be incorporated in the balancing mobile robot to increase efficiency of obstacle avoidance ability. b. Enhancing capability for more applications of the balancing robotTHANK YOU FOR LISTENING!!!
