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.

Mobile inverted pendulum (MIP) systems, typified by two-wheeled self-balancing robots and emerging wheel-legged platforms, present intrinsically unstable, underactuated dynamics that demand ...

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 ...
