[Jouni] built a pretty nice little two-wheeled robot a while back — but he never got it working quite right. Taking inspiration and a bit of opensource code from another hacker featured here, he’s ...
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 ...
Should you ever have wondered who invented the self-balancing "hoverboard" … well, it was a man named Shane Chen. He has now incorporated that same technology into a design for a two-wheeled electric ...
The motorcycle of tomorrow isn’t just electric, good-looking, and high-performance: it’s also smart. So smart that it can self-balance and follow you around, like “your jogging companion.” That is not ...
Self-balancing robots have become a common hobby project, and they usually require two wheels to work. [James Bruton] has managed to single wheel balancing robot by adding gyroscopic stabilization.
Wheeled robots are really starting to catch on, as this design makes them suitable for a variety of applications. The Ascento Pro is a good example of versatile mobile bots and it combines both the ...
But how can we use physical spinning gyroscopes to stabilise or make robots balance? I've built a Control Moment Gyro which uses a solid state IMU to measure the angle of roll of the whole device, and ...
An innovator has built a self-balancing one-wheeled robot. Developed using 3D-printed components, the latest innovation can stand still. YouTuber James Bruton built the robot using 3D-printed ...
Click above for a high-res gallery of the GM/Segway Project P.U.M.A. Please hold a moment while we check our calendars. Nope, it's definitely not April 1st. That must mean the stories circulating the ...
