This paper proposes a new ball robot which has a four axis structure and four motors that directly actuate the ball to move or to maintain the balance of the robot. For the Balancing control, it is possible to use non-model-based controller to control simply without complex formula. All the gains of the controller are heuristically adjusted during the experiments. The tilt angle is measured by IMU sensors, which is used to generate the control input of the roll and pitch controller to make the tilt angle zero. The performance of the designed control system has been verified through the real experiments with the developed ball robot.
