For those interested, the song/music when the robot is dancing is "Surrender" by Jami Sieber.

@luigisopa 13 лет назад

I want to have a tiny version of this to put it on my desk! :-D

@NickCombs 13 лет назад

Definitely the first robot I've seen that would fit into most everyday situations with humans. I can't wai until they start showing up in different places!

@JohnnyKidder 13 лет назад

I will would like 3 of these to serve drinks at my next party

@shrodingersman 13 лет назад

finally a robot with some balls !

@kentrel2 13 лет назад

Watching it dance with the music turned off is like watching a desperate cry for help

@Razzfazz87 13 лет назад

Basing motion on instability also has the side effect that everything is quite slow as you have to wait for the tilt etc. Each time you do something there is a relatively large ramp up time compared with other methods of translation and rotation.

@zero00tolerance 13 лет назад

This is way better than that segway device...

@StopFear 13 лет назад

I guess this can work well for balancing and not tipping over compared to something tall on multiple wheels. Especially if the ball is made larger and rougher so that even in position when electronics are on the side it could lift it up.

@chhabrakadabra 13 лет назад

for those people wondering why the giant ball exists even though it only makes the robot unstable, the inherent instability is the reason why the robot is so agile. it has a much lower response time.

@thatciggaweed 13 лет назад

what would happen if it goes through a puddle? would the wheels controlling the ball lose traction and would it be able to compensate for it?

@ChristianMay21 12 лет назад

The practical applications do not require Rezero to climb stairs.

@ehcmier 13 лет назад

Make a giant ball point pen to write huge cursive letters across large surfaces to be read from low-flying aircraft.

@Volound 13 лет назад

id like to see this thing traversing the bumpy surface of mars.

@yudy92 13 лет назад

This could also be a moving shelf. you can have your lets say remote, phone, etc etc and just call it "Rezero" and it detects where you are with a heat sensor so that way you wont have to look for things remembering you usually leave it on rezero. also, it can be used as an object transportation device. damn, i can think of so many uses for this.

@BobRJBurkhart 8 лет назад

Great background on this rapidly evolving technology. Viewed after seeing updated Alden version of this prototype!

@geza96 13 лет назад

Flat clean surface only. Would not do well at my house full of toys. And cables and pets. Well done guys.

@SalixAlba256 13 лет назад

Curious as to the algorithm they use to restore balance. Is it a explicit algorithm or some kind of neural net or adaptive system?

@2nd3rd1st 13 лет назад

Instant thought? Could follow me around with a tray holding beer and nachos!

@0rnJ 13 лет назад

This applied to cars, would be HUGE.

13 лет назад

@SalixAlba256 VioceOfAleppo pointed it out correctly. The control is based on a mathematical model of the mechanical system and forms a explicit feedback law from the sensors to the motors.

@Crazee108 13 лет назад

@kezman2003 They meant unstable because it's CONSTANTLY in motion, not that it will fall over... it can right itself up. So yes, it can certainly carry around those IV bags to follow people in hospital settings... not medical tools or whatever though

@SalixAlba256 13 лет назад

@VoiceOfAleppo Back when i was looking at AI most of the NN problems tackled seemed to be linear relationships. It always seemed to be a bit more interesting to try and develop a model of something which was non-linear. Balancing seems like a good example of such a project and it would be fun to see what sort of system would be needed to be able to learn how to balance.

@dumbnetworks You are right, an automatic stand up mechanism would be desirable in the future. Rezero is our first prototype and a lot has to be improved and added to make to a safe product.

@ryanc519 13 лет назад

now we have this ballbot the circus doesn't need a clown on a ball anymore

@wenman 13 лет назад

It will cool to be my personal assistance to carry my shopping bags or grocery.

@Rylaan 13 лет назад

@PaladinPK Not even goodbye, we would be saying hello to TRULY parallel parking. Parking that is done while parallel! :)

13 лет назад

@MrIntelligenius Most students of our team are mechanical engineers and we worked together with 2 electrical engineers. You can find all the team members on our website about the project Rezero.

@tehKap0w 13 лет назад

so many ted talks need an speakers addendum "BTW, give us venture capital money"

@TheResidentSkeptic 13 лет назад

They should have had it take a bow at the end by rolling backwards then forwards :)

@DmNetworks 13 лет назад

@fankipete go for it dude, and congrats for a great start.

@Crazee108 13 лет назад

its cool, i like the idea that it can be used to carry medical equipment.. smart. =)

@TheSpeshulShark 13 лет назад

@LanceFlugerman What advantage would that have over wheels?

@Ghost00117 13 лет назад

This is really cool and amazing stuff. I wonder if they could add a feature that can allow it to get back to it's fe..., I mean it's ball when it falls down.

@fullauto9286 6 лет назад

Cup holders, beer and the follow me feature and we're set!

@陈素星-q1u 7 лет назад

I was searching up Re:Zero

@TuskForce 6 лет назад

CEEcee Grey my brain trembles

@1schwererziehbar1 12 лет назад

asimo just got served.

@y0nd3r 13 лет назад

Finally! Rosie!

@Stereozucker 13 лет назад

@PaladinPK it sadly would take alot of the stability of the cars steering mechanics. the engines would have to be very very strong at high speed to redirect the cars direction. :( would be epic tough :)

@DeoMachina 13 лет назад

It's adorable :3

@craigant01 13 лет назад

it should have took a bow at the end! awesome though.

@ryanc519 13 лет назад

@meseplus that's why he created the ballot to make himself taller

@Truthiness231 13 лет назад

Oh on the applications themselves: I think the hospital one would really work out though it'll be quite some time before we see them, and the ride "might" be acceptable by society... idk, first look at it reminded me of Mr. Garrison's "It" in it's "practicality"...

13 лет назад

@VoiceOfAleppo Cool, thank you. We are glad you like Rezero.

@OgreMECH 13 лет назад

Reminds me of those Dwarvan spheres on Skyrim.

@popedpopcorn 13 лет назад

love it

@UDTR8451 11 лет назад

I wondered how they deal with the slip between that ball and the motor wheel

@un2mensch 13 лет назад

Splendid!

@Eay5paev 11 лет назад

That's great, but what about using a wheel instead? It might be much more difficult, as the robot would need counter weights or something I guess, but that'd be even more impressive.

@Typhoonbladefist 13 лет назад

@MrIntelligenius it's a mix of electronic engineering and computer science, aka robotics.

@sou1copo 13 лет назад

Beautiful!

@eduardoserrano6459 2 года назад

a waiter to bring you drinks

@sonicase 13 лет назад

where'd they get that giant mouse ball

@timar03 13 лет назад

FUTURE SEGWAY ANYONE?

@MrYungilike 13 лет назад

A nice idea without wheels, great!!!

@LeonidasGGG 13 лет назад

Small size and ergonomic wheelchairs! :)

@ablestmage 13 лет назад

Looks like one of the Dwemer sphere bots from Morrowind (and now, Skyrim)

@Th3Sh1n1gam1 13 лет назад

What happens if it's pushed with a lot of force?

@PussiesUnite 13 лет назад

I want one

@markrozario 13 лет назад

@Crazee108 are you serious? Even the designers started the talk by saying it's an UNSTABLE robot, and you agree with the idea of it carrying around medical equipment??

@Nineteen1900Hundred 13 лет назад

@0rnJ Yeah, have you seen "I, Robot" ?

@Tommykee999 8 лет назад

had a cool thought about a one balled vehicle seach it up aready been done

@WilliamLarsten 13 лет назад

I want one to serve me drinks...

@BeortheMad 13 лет назад

We have protests all over the world, we are exhausting our world, BUT! don't worry because we have dancing robots!

@Nineteen1900Hundred 13 лет назад

Can we have cars with spherical wheels like in "I Robot"?

@40Kfrog 13 лет назад

Rosie the Robot!

@CharlesUrich 13 лет назад

reminds me of Roadkill Rodneys from Ninja Turtles

@Drvelasco45 13 лет назад

Finally a robot that imitates the human feedback movement mechanisms... those moon-walkers were going nowhere

@Gamesharked 13 лет назад

I would love to have one of these follow me around in public and be my "pet." People would be like... "Uhhh, you got a robot following you." -- "OH, that? Naw, it's my pet." -- "o_O"

@Spencerianism 13 лет назад

It can move better than me..And I have two balls.

@DmNetworks 13 лет назад

what if it falls to one side?

@DmNetworks 13 лет назад

@fankipete well I was wondering this because you want to use it as an info "bot" so if a kid slaps it this thing falls down so is basically game over, until some good samaritan puts humpty dumpty back online. Or not?
