Japanese scientists have created a miniature robot that can balance on his bike commensurately. Masahiko Yamaguchi inventor says that the ability of the robot are determined not only the thinking of their potential, but also specific skills that are available to him. And cycling - a vivid example of this skill.
For balancing robot responds microprocessor and a gyroscope. When the frame of the bike leans, a special algorithm calculates how much it is necessary to turn the steering wheel to correct the situation. Stronger wheel movement committed when the operator gives a command to turn the robot. Small bike is not equipped with brakes, and the robot when to stop acting like any sensible rider - relieves feet from the pedals and brakes them.
