I am sure that there are many more practical uses for something like this besides robots......I keep picturing Rosie from the Jetsons though.</p>KevinThu, 10 Aug 2006 17:14:46 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2006/08/09/the-ballbot-balances-itself-on-one-ball/#comment-1758704<p>I'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.</p>Thomas PaineThu, 10 Aug 2006 14:32:19 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2006/08/09/the-ballbot-balances-itself-on-one-ball/#comment-1758703<p>That is amazing. Where still along ways from world peace.</p>KrisThu, 10 Aug 2006 08:27:48 -0000
