Overview
Terasic's Self-Balancing Robot is a multi-functional robot designed and manufacturered by Terasic robtic exeperts. Built on Terasic's DE10-Nano, a light-weighted SoC platform ideal for embedded solution, and equipped with the state-of-the-art control algorithm, the Robot offers developers a perfect starting point to create your own robotic innovations.
This Robot can perform posture recognition in real time through the acceleration sensor and the gyroscope, and achieve the balance by controlling the motors to adjust the posture. The Robot can implement attitude algorithm, perform motion control, and execute movements autonomously, such as moving forward, turning right & left, object following and obstacle avoidance.

Two Robot Version
For battery shipping consideration, the robot has two versions, one is battery_package version, and the other one is battery_case version (users need to buy three 18650-lithium batteries when using this version), the differences in accessories and appearance between the two versions are listed below link :
Key Control Board in the Self-Balancing Robot
The Self-Balancing Robot control system consist two boards as shown below:
- Terasic DE10-Nano FPGA board
- Motor Driver board (BAL board)
The FPGA on the DE10-Nano is responsible for all the functions of the balance and control system.
The motor driver board receives the control signal from the de10-nano to control the motor rotation. There are also some sensors and communication devices on the motor driver board. These devices can provide the status data of the robot and external communication interface to FPGA. For detailed hardware information, please refer to 03_Hardware_Manual.pdf which can be found in the CD package.
Familiar with the Terasic DE10-Nano
平衡車上的主要控制板為 DE10-Nano , 這個Kit上擁有一個 內嵌ARM Cortex A9 CPU 的 Intel Cyclone V SoC FPGA. 使用者若要對平衡車入手, 需要先開始學會了解與使用這塊板子. 相關的學習資源如下:
