Ballbots

Article Abstract:

A ballbot is a tall, thin robot that travels about on a ball-shaped wheel, enabling it to move in any direction, providing the flexible locomotive capabilities that robots would need to aid people in their daily lives in the years to come. The ballbot uses fiber-optic gyroscopes and microelectromechanical accelerometers that when combined emulate the functions of a mechanical gyro and pendulum that functions like an Schuler pendulum.
