description Two-wheeled robots are popular in transportation applications because of their high maneuverability. In this research, the oscillation attenuation performance of the control moment gyroscope (CMG) for the two-wheeled robot was studied. The stored kinetic energy of a CMG can offer a weight and volume saving compared to conventional vibration absorbers. This CMG is also more reactionless than other conventional absorbers by transforming the impact of angular momentum to unidirectional thrust along the center of gravity. The gimbals can precess while providing the angular momentum under the gravitational force. This study indicated that the CMG can operate in a wide range of excitation frequencies to balance the robot in a stable period. Because the flywheel speed is much easier changed to thrust against the unwanted oscillations disturbing the robot stability. There is a relation between the gimbal amplitude and the flywheel speed of CMG, in which the required flywheel speed can be reduced if the higher gimbal amplitude is chosen. It can be also concluded from the study that the oscillation amplitudes at the target frequency can decrease as much as flywheel speed increases. There was also a mathematical model using ANSYS software. The simulation results using ANSYS matched well with the theoretical results of the Lagrangian model.
