This is part of a series for building an encoderless mini 2-wheel robot:

  1. Introduction & Problem Description
  2. Model Identification and Control
  3. Experimentation & Testing
  4. Building a Prototype
  5. Designing & building a Custom PCB

In any control systems problem, there are essentially two parts:

  1. Model Identification, or designing the mathematical model and requirements of the system.
  2. Model Control, or designing the required controls for the system.
