The invention relates to a single-wheel 
robot system and a control method thereof, belonging to the field of intelligent 
robot, in particular to a static unbalanced 
robot which can autonomically control movement balance further to autonomically ride a monocycle and a movement balance control method thereof. The single-wheel robot comprises a robot body and a balance detection and 
control system and is characterized in that the lower part of the robot body is provided with a single wheel which can rotate front and back, and the middle of the robot is provided with an inertial 
flywheel which can rotate left and right and is horizontally placed; the balance detection and 
control system comprises a movement controller, a posture 
detector and a 
servo drive controller, wherein the posture 
detector and the 
servo drive controller are connected with the movement controller; and the movement controller 10 receives a 
signal of a posture sensor and processes the received 
signal according to a control procedure so as to send a control order to control a motor through the 
servo drive controller to regulate the posture balance of the single-wheel robot. The invention provides a control platform which not only belongs to 
robotics but also belongs to the field of control science and 
intelligent control, thereby meeting the needs of multi-subject scientific research and teaching.
