wheelbot/Mini-Wheelbot

The Mini Wheelbot is a balancing, reaction wheel unicycle robot designed as a testbed for learning-based control. It is an unstable system with highly nonlinear yaw dynamics, non-holonomic driving, and discrete contact switches in a small, powerful, and rugged form factor.

This project provides the design and software for the Mini Wheelbot, a small, self-balancing unicycle robot. It's designed as a robust platform for testing and developing advanced control algorithms, particularly those based on machine learning. Researchers and students in robotics and control systems can use this hardware and software to explore complex dynamics and iterative control experiments.

Use this if you are a robotics researcher or student needing an unstable, nonlinear, non-holonomic system testbed for developing and evaluating learning-based control algorithms.

Not ideal if you are looking for a simple, stable robotic platform or a pre-built, ready-to-deploy commercial robot.
