Thomas Paine · 3 years agoI'll give you that the ball is much cooler than a wheel, but it's still nothing terribly new. Robots have been rolling around (R2D2) since their inception and this solution still doesn't solve the basic problem with wheeled robots: terrain. Sure it works on a hardwood floor, but add some rocks, stairs, carpet or even a slope and the robot starts too look like a 2-year old.
