Abstract
The control system of an auto-balancing two-wheeled cart (ABTWC) is inherently unstable, displays a non-minimum phase and can be piloted by a joystick that has 2 d.o.f. This paper employs a state feedback technique to design the stabilizing controller for an ABTWC and develops a pilot algorithm, i.e., differential steering, which converts two joysticks' commands into two torque directives for transportation. This allows the user to operate this cart linearly for both motion and orientation control via a joystick. Control examples are given to illustrate the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed controller and pilot algorithm.
