Stabilizing an inverted pendulum is a classic problem in control theory, and if you’ve ever taken a control systems class you might remember seeing pages full of differential equations and bode ...

Getting a robot to stand on two wheels without tipping over involves a challenging dance with the laws of physics. Self-balancing robots are a great way to get into control systems, sensor fusion, and ...

The night before Anna Garverick was to present her independent project for Northwestern Engineering's Master of Science in Robotics (MSR) program, she learned a valuable lesson: Don’t turn your back ...

Current Master of Science in Robotics student Kojo Welbeck talked about building a self-balancing robot and what its success means for his future. Kojo Welbeck created a self-balancing robot for his ...

We've seen fast, nimble, self-balancing wheeled robots, plus we've also seen robots that can grasp and carry objects. The evoBOT could prove to be particularly useful, however, as it combines both ...
