Arduino enthusiasts looking for a new project this weekend may be interested in this awesome DIY balancing robot, which has been created using parts that cost roughly $80. Components include two ...

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] ...

A new Arduino robot called the Lil’Bot has been created to provides makers, hobbyists and teachers something a little different than the standard Arduino robots currently available. The Lil’Bot ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Arduino has made quite a name for itself over the past several years, with its single-board microcontrollers making their way into a wide variety of DIY electronic devices. Given that many of those ...

If you’re an electronics company that builds cutting-edge sensors the average consumer never actually sees in a device, how do you go about promoting your work? Japan’s Murata does so by building ...

A robot that balances on top of a metal sphere about the size of a soccer ball could be a model for more nimble android assistants. The tall, thin robot, called Ballbot, sits on top of a ball, which ...

I think I can do a much better mechanical and electronic design now since I've built many balancing robots in the meantime. I decided to theme this one as HAL9000 from 2001 A Space Odyssey. I'm using ...
