Abstract
This thesis reports regarding the design and development of self-stabilizing light weight transport system. This system provides better balance and gain in stability on light weight transport system to prevent from any mishap and improve operability. The first objective is to develop a self-stabilizing program for lightweight transport system. In order to develop a program, the design of the prototype has to be determined. The projects starts off with designing a CAD Model of the prototype and carrying out engineering analysis to validate dimensions of the design are optimal. Solidworks Simulation 2015 is used in analysis of the CAD Model. Upon determining the final design, the self-balancing program is created. The second objective is to build a gyroscopic stabilized model in order to test the self-stabilization system. A smaller scale model made of acrylic is used to verify the Arduino program in the self-stabilization system. In general, the model must return back to its desired position when it experience external disturbance. Throughout this entire project, innovative work for research and further development has been laid out and implementation of the prototype is proven to be functional.
