From SolidWorks to Gazebo: PID Control of a Two-Wheeled Self-Balancing Robot
Designed a physical robot structure in SolidWorks, exported it as URDF, implemented PID control logic in ROS Noetic using IMU feedback, and simulated real-time balancing in Gazebo.

Problem
A CAD model must be converted into a simulation-ready robot description before realistic ROS/Gazebo control experiments can be performed.
Approach
- Model the mechanical structure in SolidWorks and export a URDF robot description.
- Build a ROS Noetic workflow around IMU feedback and PID control logic.
- Validate balancing behavior in Gazebo simulation.
Outcomes
- Completed CAD-to-simulation workflow for a two-wheeled robot.
- Simulated real-time balancing behavior with sensor feedback.
