Cubli: robotic cube with almost perfect balancing

Different companies produce a sufficiently large number of toys and gadgets that can balance under different conditions. In the same Soviet Union has produced a plastic bird, which was based on the basis of a beak, is quite thin, and all the "body" is in the air. Recently in the network has a video demonstration of robotic "cube", for which the balance is very high.

This "cube" can balance at any angle, not only on horizontal surfaces but also on the surfaces with a strong inclination. In addition, this device can be a balance even at whirling at one of the corners.

Created this device specialists from the Institute of Zurich, ETH Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control. Inside Cubli - three rotating wheels, each of which is responsible for the balance of a certain area. In addition, the device is located and a small computing device that calculates the rate at which the need to rotate the wheel to the cube could balance.

According to the developers, Cubli can be useful for working in space programs and robotics. Below - video demonstration of Cubli.
