Automotive Bot

Abstract

A bicycle can be turned into an automotive bot, which can stabilize itself and navigate itself to the intended destination. There are two theoretical methods by which a two wheeled vehicle oriented in tandem can be stabilized: dynamic stabilization and control moment gyroscope (CMG) stabilization. Dynamic stabilization utilizes tactical steering techniques to trigger a lean in the vehicle in the intended direction for balancing, while CMG stabilization employs the reactive precession torque of a high-speed flywheel about an axis that will act to balance the vehicle. Of these two, CMG stabilization offers greater advantages for static vehicles. The conceptual stage paper proposes that the technology which was used in the auto driven cars can be successfully implemented to a highly unstable form through auto stabilization by one of the above two methods. The bike can easily navigate with the help of radar and map technology. The radar sonar system detects possible collisions and avoids them through intelligent form of cruise control that slows down and speeds up automatically to keep pace with the vehicle in front of you.
