Wheel balancing Robot (WBR) or known as Wheel Inverted-Pendulum (WIP) robot is a two wheels robot that able to balance its body while autonomously/ remotely manoeuvre around. This robot is normally utilized as Mobile service robot, interactive mobile robot, personal transporter, & etc for domestic, edutainment, & recreation purposes. The system has high non-linearity and complex dynamics. Thus, modelling and control are the two important issues in insuring the successful implementation of such system for aforementioned purposes.

Aerial Vehicle is an autonomous or remotely control aircraft which is either has embedded systems with onboard sensors or remotely controlled by flight control tools. This system can be categorized as Unmanned AV or drone. One of them is known as Quad-rotor based UAV - a four rotors type helicopter that are connected to two identical sets of fixed pitch propellers, two rotating clockwise and the other two rotating counterclockwise. This such system might be used for surveillance and rescues operations. Research for this type of system includes modelling, control, vision servoing, autonomous navigation and intelligent behaviour, and other relevant areas.
