The CMU Ballbot,[1] the first successful ballbot, built by Prof. Ralph Hollis[2] (not in picture) at Carnegie Mellon University, USA in 2005The BallIP, developed by Prof. Masaaki Kumagai[3] at Tohoku Gakuin University, Japan in 2008The Rezero[4] developed at ETH Zurich, Switzerland in 2010The Kugle ballbot[5] developed at Aalborg University, Denmark in 2019The CMU Ballbot[1] with a pair of 2-DOF arms (2011). It is the first – and currently the only – ballbot with arms.
A ball balancing robot also known as a ballbot is a dynamically-stable mobile robot designed to balance on a single spherical wheel (i.e., a ball). Through its single contact point with the ground, a ballbot is omnidirectional and thus exceptionally agile, maneuverable and organic in motion compared to other ground vehicles. Its dynamic stability enables improved navigability in narrow, crowded and dynamic environments. The ballbot works on the same principle as that of an inverted pendulum.
