If there is one hobby project that is close to my heart is this Self-balancing robot I designed with one of my student back in the days.

Figuring out the PID control (digital signal processing) was amazing. It was controlled via an Android Bluetooth App. Well, I still have all the design files why not build it again, this time with my daughter.


I have exhibited the robot in many platform and Tech gatherings
