Imagine trying to balance a heavy metal ball bearing on a cafeteria tray. It’s not the easiest thing in the world! In fact, it’s perhaps a task better automated, as [skulkami3000] demonstrates with ...

A human-size robot balancing on a ball that acts as a spherical wheel can push wheelchairs as smoothly as a human assistant – and may carry out this caregiving task better than many humanoid robot ...

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.

I always wanted to revisit my first BB-8 project, which had the head actually balancing on the ball. I think I can do a much better mechanical and electronic design now since I've built many balancing ...

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 ...

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 ...

This is part 2 of my Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG) balancing experimentation. I've built many robots that use solid state gyros and accelerometers to make them balance - mainly two wheel balancing ...
