Self-balancing devices present a unique blend of challenge and innovation. That’s how [mircemk]’s project caught our eye. While balancing cubes isn’t a new concept — Hackaday has published several over …read more Continue reading DIY 3D-Printed Arduino Self-Balancing Cube
While there are now a few different companies that build self-balancing one-wheeled electric skateboards, Future Motion was one of the very first. The California-based firm has just announced the latest addition to its lineup, the small but mighty Pint… Continue reading Electric one-wheeler packs a lot into a Pint-size package
Country folk tend to like the independence offered by their cars, so how do you get them to use public transit? The Monocab system may be the answer, as it utilizes individual on-demand pods that travel on existing abandoned railways.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Self-balancing commuter pods ride old railway lines on demand
Inspired by the wheel-bodied battle droids from Star Wars, a scientist has created a robot that rolls along on one big wheel, using extendable legs to steer. Instead of smashing the Rebel Alliance, however, this bot’s nimble descendants may one day be … Continue reading Star-Wars-inspired robot rolls on a round body and uses legs to steer
DIY electric personal vehicles are a field where even hobbyists can meaningfully innovate, and that’s demonstrated by the Mega-Wheelie, a self-balancing one-wheeled skateboard constructed as an experiment in traversing off-road …read more Continue reading Behold The Mega-Wheelie, a Huge One-Wheeled Electric Skateboard
Should you ever have wondered who invented the self-balancing “hoverboard” … well, it was a man named Shane Chen. He has now incorporated that same technology into a design for a two-wheeled electric car, appropriately named the Shane.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Hoverboard inventor reveals plans for self-balancing Shane two-wheeled EV
While quadruped robots may surpass their wheeled counterparts at traversing rough terrain, they still aren’t able to maintain their balance when moving along narrow ridges. That could change, though, as scientists have devised a method of allowing them… Continue reading Quadruped robot uses satellite tools to walk along a balance beam

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 traits in one clever machine.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading Self-balancing evoBOT grasps and carries cargo
We’ve seen enough DIY robotic platforms here on Hackaday to know that most of them take the literal and figurative path of least resistance. That is, they tend to be …read more Continue reading Homebrew Biped Bot Shows Off Some Impressive Moves
