Video duration: 144 seconds

Inverted pendulum robot working with velocity feedback from motor encoders. The robot senses it's orientation from a rate gyroscope and a dual axis accelerometer, combined using a Kalman filter. The angle and velocity are held using PID controllers. The radio commands are sent over a BlueSMiRF bluetooth serial interface from www.sparkfun.com.

First steps of my new balancing robot, which my wife has named Gizmo. It is controlled by a simple PID controller around pitch angle. Angle estimate using Gyro and Accelerometer inputs to Kalman Filter. No velocity feedback yet (which is why it tends to run away), but the motors do have encoders so I'll be adding this soon.
