Self Balancing Bot

This project aims to design, construct, and implement the control of a two-wheel self-balancing robot using PID and LQR Controller.

The two-wheeled self-balancing robot, also known as the inverted pendulum and cart model, is a popular model in control system experiments. It is a multi-input and multi-output system that has theoretical significance and has been applied in many systems in daily use.
