A Prototype Design for a Self-Balancing Tray
Poster 102
Self-balancing platforms are used in a variety of industries such as in construction to ensure a level place to pour concrete, in NASA’s design of the Apollo 13 rocket to ensure the Rocketship maintains a certain orientation, and in photography for camera stabilization on drones and handheld devices like the DJI Osmo. The purpose of these kinds of platforms is to ensure stability in an environment that is not typically stable so that tasks, such as construction or working in outer space, can be done easily and safely. The purpose of our Prototype is to create a smaller self-balancing platform that is useful in doing a small domestic task like keeping a tray of food balanced.
