A team of international researchers has developed a pioneering control system for ballbot drive micromobility vehicles (BDVs), promising to reshape the future of urban transportation with safer, more ...

The robotics field is advancing rapidly, with a growing emphasis on improving machine autonomy and interaction. As robots are ...

Carnegie Mellon researchers have developed a new mobile robot that balances on a ball instead of Legs or wheels. "Ballbot" is self-contained, battery-operated and omnidirectional. It weighs 95 pounds ...

Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed a new type of mobile robot that balances on a ball instead of legs or wheels. “Ballbot” is a self-contained, battery-operated, omnidirectional ...

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.

N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are small, reactive ring molecules that bond well with metallic surfaces, and which over the past few years have attracted a great deal of interest in the field of the ...

Even when you start pushing this odd-looking robot around, it stays upright. Here’s Ballbot, a robot that balances on its single spherical wheel that’s about the size of a bowling ball. It stays ...

Bossa Nova Robotics, a spin-off of Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute, has announced a new research platform called mObi. The mObi platform is based on a design by Professor Ralph Hollis, ...

(Phys.org)—Self-assembled monolayers are molecules anchored to a surface. These molecules have been used to advance the fields of molecular sensors and electronics. Monolayers on gold surfaces are ...

Those humanoid robots are all well and good if you've got 30 minutes to watch ASIMO manage a 360 degree turn, but some researchers at Carnegie Mellon have been spending some time trying to figure out ...
