We propose a hybrid adaptive control method with robust disturbance rejection for a novel personal micromobility vehicle that uses ballbot drive mechanics with a single spherical wheel. Intelligent ...

The proposed controller for ballbot devices enhances the adaptability to dynamic environments via self-learning and self-adjusting characteristics. Ballbot is a unique kind of robot with great ...

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

It isn’t quite as lovable as the spherical droid from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but this robot from Carnegie Mellon University has the benefit of being more than a special effect (however cool).
