satisfy Cubli! Cubli is a 15 x 15 x 15cm robotic cube that can roll around as well as balance on its corners utilizing a series of gyroscopes.
The job has been going strong because February 2011 at the Institute for dynamic Systems as well as manage in Zurich, where it is starting to get rather impressive. We very first shared Cubli earlier this year, when it was just a wee 2-dimensional as well as corded 3-dimensional prototype.
Since then, it has ended up being a completely enclosed wireless cube capable of jumping up on its end, balancing, as well as managed falling — it can walk as well as roll! To do this, it has three big reaction wheels on each axis which can impart their angular velocity on the entire cube when the braked, enabling it to relocation in any type of direction.
According to the video after the break, the team is just building the cube “because they can”, nevertheless other researchers are thinking about the technologies applications in self-assembling robots, as well as even planetary exploration.
