Project Case Study
The Ball Balancing Robot is an educational robotics project that demonstrates the practical implementation of a PID control system. Using an Arduino Nano, TF-Luna LiDAR sensor, and MG995 servo motor, the robot continuously balances a ball at the center of an acrylic beam. Three potentiometers allow real-time tuning of the PID parameters (Kp, Ki, and Kd), making it an effective hands-on platform for teaching embedded systems, control engineering, and robotics.

Got questions? We've got answers!
Explore common inquiries about the work in our portfolio, how it is built, and how to use it.
- Every project is built inside the AI Research Centre at Woxsen University by our research staff, engineers and student researchers, usually alongside a department lab and often with an industry or academic partner.
- Several are available to pilot or license. Projects marked Production or Beta are the ones furthest along — get in touch through the contact form and we will put you with the team that built it.
- Alpha is an internal prototype under active research. Beta is running with real users outside the lab. Production is deployed and supported. Coming Soon is announced but not yet open.
- Yes. We take on sponsored research, joint development and student-led work across all of our departments. Tell us the problem you want solved and we will scope it with the relevant lab.
- It varies by project. Where we can publish, the repository, documentation and any accompanying papers are linked in the project's resources section. Everything else is available under agreement.
- New work is announced through our newsletter and the insights feed, and every project that ships gets a page here.
