Yahboom RTR self balance smart robot car for Arduino
The Yahboom RTR Self-Balancing Robot Car is a ready-to-run two-wheel balancing vehicle powered by an Arduino Uno. Using an MPU6050 gyroscope and a PID-based balance algorithm, the robot maintains stable upright balance with automatic posture recognition to control the balance system on and off. The three-layer aluminium alloy and acrylic chassis supports loads up to 2 kg.
Control the robot via the Android Bluetooth app, which supports button, gravity, and joystick control modes, live PID parameter tuning, and real-time display of accelerometer, gyroscope, and voltage waveforms. The Arduino Uno is removable for secondary development, and the modular design with plug-in interfaces makes it accessible for learners.
