CMG Methodof Designing Self-Balancing Bicycles: A Review

Abstract

In recent years researchers are busy in concept of electric vehicles and the driverless cars. Now compared to the automated cars, autonomous bicycles are more affordable and environment friendly in nature which do not produce any harmful effect to the environment. The autonomous bicycles reduce human effort and are also considered best for the physically disabled person. This review paper explains the benefits of autonomous bicycles and its various methods of balancing. The biggest challenge in automating bicycle is the inherent problem of staying balanced. This paper gives knowledge about the modifications which can be carried out on conventional bicycles to make them autonomous. Various electrical components and their uses are also described in this paper. The design of the autonomous bicycle using Control Movement Gyroscope (CMG)  to make it self-balance also described in this paper. The hardware and software development of autonomous bicycles are described in this paper.
