Complexity is the nature of robotics and also the obstacle for young students to engage with robotic education due to their limited knowledge in mathematics, physics, programming, and engineering. It is logical to use simplified models with less complicated platforms to deliver fundamentals of robotics to young students. A case study of simulating the dynamic motion of a simplified quarter car model in order to better understand the vibrations of the two-wheeled self-balanced robot with different road excitations is reported in this chapter. We employ a numerical method to solve the ODE of the simplified quarter car model. This case study has shown: 1) this approach is more intuitive for students to visually observe the vertical vibrations of slow-moving two-wheeled self-balanced robots over different road excitations; 2) this approach provides an alternative way to conduct simulations for simple models, which overcomes the missed links hidden in a Blackbox such as a Simulink model. Hence, it may potentially become an attractive tool for promoting robotics and STEM education to young students in the future.
