ABSTRACT
This chapter illustrates the application of input signals using a control system of an autonomous bicycle. It further illustrates the use of input devices outside of the typical PC or mobile environment. This application focuses on designing an unmanned bicycle and a controller by using a classic control, Proportional derivative controller (PD controller), and applying the method to the AU self-balancing bicycle (AUSB). The main concept applied in this project is the gyroscopic effect. Input data obtained from the gyroscope sensor in the form of an analog signal will be the process variable of the controlling system, which will be captured in a dsPIC microcontroller. This microcontroller will control the output in terms of percentage called PWM with the value accordings to the error obtained from the gyroscope sensor and send this output to control the direction of the flywheel to balance the system.
