The objective is to make a remote control robot capable of balancing itself using Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) Control.

• Arduino Mega
• MPU 6050 (Accelerometer + Gyroscope)
• DC Motors with quadrature encoders
• Xbee Module
• Motor Driver (L298N)
• 12V Lipo Battery

• 3D Modelling of the robot is done in the solidworks, and those files are available in 3D Model folder.

• Derivations are given in the folder Mathematical Model.

• State-Space Equation

• Filter

• This is the file in which code for controlling Arduino Mega is written.

• In these files, class of encoders is defined.
• X4 encoding is used.

• In these files, class of motor is defined.
• Encoder is a inner class of motor.

• Timers 3, 4, and 5 are initialized in this library.

• In this files, class of Xbee is defined.

• In this files, dicrete state-space model of robot is calculated from its continuous state-space model.
• State variables are simulated from given Q and R matrix.
