If IKEA made ball-balancing PID robots, they’d probably look like this one. This [Johan Link] build isn’t just about style. A look under the hood reveals not the standard, off-the-shelf ...

[Jochen Alt]’s Paul is one of the coolest robots of its type, and maybe one of the coolest robots period. Personality? Check. Omniwheels? Check. Gratuitous feats of derring-do? Check. Paul is a ball ...

In a surprising development in the field of robotics, researchers have discovered that small modifications to a robot’s body mass and ball size can significantly enhance its balancing abilities.

The night before Anna Garverick was to present her independent project for Northwestern Engineering's Master of Science in Robotics (MSR) program, she learned a valuable lesson: Don’t turn your back ...

The purpose of the project is to drive the wheels in the direction that the upper part of the robot is falling as it produces a 2-wheeled dynamically balancing robot. The robot will remain balanced if ...

August 13, 2006 Contrasting with the bipedal humanoid robot portrayed in science fiction, Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed a new type of mobile robot that balances on a ball.

We just fawned over Anybots’ dynamically balancing robot (Dexter) earlier this week, and (his brother?) already has a new trick. It might not look like much, but according to Dexter’s developers: ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We’ve seen how a quadruped robot dog can dribble a ball, climb ...

Carnegie Mellon researchers have developed a new mobile robot that balances on a ball instead of Legs or wheels. "Ballbot" is self-contained, battery-operated and omnidirectional. It weighs 95 pounds ...
