Origin
Self Balancing bot is a successful application of motion stabilisation using gyroscope sensor by use of PID
calibration.

Project Description
Our self balancing robot basically reads its current angle of tilt with the help of the MPU6050
accelerometer and gyro sensor(which is installed on top of it) and then its wheels move in the
direction of tilt to achieve the balancing action .The wheel motion is controlled by PID algorithms
which ensure smooth balancing action and prevents jerky motion .Arduino UNO as the brain of
the robot receives the tilt related data from the MPU6050 and after handling it as per the
program ,it sends the signal to the motor driver to carry out the required wheel motion to
balance the robot.
