The development of modern mobile robots is often connected with advanced reliability, especially in undetermined conditions. One widespread reason for robotic mission failures is robot tip-over. In this paper, a method to avoid tip-over is proposed based on the existing tip-over detection methods in application to a mobile robot with two arms. The method has been validated in Matlab/CoppeliaSim co-simulation environment.
