The robot above can balance an inverted pendulum. But wait, it gets better. It can balance an inverted pendulum that is articulated in the middle like the one seen above. Wait, wait, wait… it gets ...

Apparently, balancing a pole on top of a flying quadrocopter robot wasn't challenging enough for the researchers at ETH Zurich's Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control. Their latest project has two ...

If you march sufficiently deep into the wilderness of control theory, you’ll no doubt encounter the inverted pendulum problem. These balancing acts have emerged with a number of variants over the ...

You may never be able to afford your own Segway, but soon you'll be able to buy something similar for just a hundred bucks. You won't be able to ride it, but it might ultimately end up being more fun.

Balancing systems, exemplified by inverted pendulums, self-erecting poles and underactuated robotic platforms, present a canonical challenge in control theory due to their intrinsic instability and ...

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 ...
