This project aimed to develop a self-stabilizing spherical robot with internal motion control based on data from an MPU6050 gyroscope and accelerometer. The design integrated DC motors, H-bridge drivers, a LiPo battery, and a Raspberry Pi Pico for embedded control. Although a voltage spike caused a failure in the motor driver, the project showcased strong development in mechanical design, electronics integration, and programming.
I created the full CAD model and 3D-printed the mechanical shell and internal structure. I also programmed the motion logic in Python to interpret sensor data and drive the motors accordingly. Despite the setback with the burned H-bridge, the project allowed me to deepen my skills in embedded systems, rapid prototyping, and sensor-based control.
