Abstract :
This paper presents the implementation of a novel control method of using air for balancing the roll angle of a unicycle robot. The unicycle robot is designed and built. The roll angle of the unicycle robot is controlled by blowing air while the pitch angle is also controlled by DC motors. Successful balancing performances are demonstrated.
