Dynamic balance robot using Lego Mindstorms

Lego Mindstorms RobotMe and my friend (Guglielmo Roelfsema) have presented a seminar for the course of Robotics II, with Prof. Gini Giuseppina at Politecnico di Milano.
In this work, we have used Lego Mindstorms to realise a robot that can stand-up using dynamic control theory, balancing the gravity force using motors. It was really cool and very funny to see that our robot moves without falling down. Anyway, this is only a prototype…
