SOE self balancing bicycle aims to build a bicycle robot that is capable of balancing by itself, and further, progressing on a track either preprogrammed or through visual processing on a road. The bicycle remains little understood and its dynamics little agreed upon despite over a century of its usage in almost a static design. This and the fact that the bicycle is inherently a very unstable system means that the problem of algorithmic bicycle stabilisation is yet to be solved completely. This implementation of the control system solution to this problem is one of the first attempts of its kinds in the world, and definitely the first in the country. The project provides a great platform to integrate control system theory, visual image processing and microcontroller robot programming. As of now, it is just an intriguing academic problem. But possible future applications could lie almost anywhere .Due to the better maneuverability and lesser track space consumption that the bicycle robot boasts over say , a four wheeled bot, we believe the idea has a huge potential application in automated transport.
