TASK 2:
AIM: To get a hands on experience with modelling, simulation and controlling
a system using the basic concept of PID control.
“Balance is not something you find, it is something you create.” In a world
where gravity pulls us relentlessly down, the Balancing bot defies all odds and
stands tall on its own. But how is this possible? Well, you should be able to find
out by the end of this task.
i) The main aim of this task is to get you accustomed with actually
integrating mechanical system dynamics with control system design
with the help of MATLAB simscape. Design a simple model of the
self-balancing bot using the simscape multibody tool. You could
use the links in the resources below as a convenient reference.
ii) Once you have the model of your self-balancing bot ready you now
have to make sure that it stays intact and doesn’t fall to the ground.
Here is where a control system becomes vital. Control the modelled
system using a PID controller. Explain how you came up with the
block diagram that represents your system controlled by the PID
controller. (You could use the links below and further resources on
the net to understand the dynamics of a self balancing bot)
Takeaways:- Creating models on simscape multibody and using simulink to
mathematically model and control our system.
