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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Have you ever tried to balance a broomstick or dowel on the tip of your finger? It’s not so easy. Just how fast should you move your hand to keep the stick balanced? How should you respond if somebody ...

How about making a simple robot built with an inverted pendulum mechanism? The robot would balance on two wheels and uses a simple switch and sensor circuit. This would help beginners to get a hang of ...
