ballbots
Ballbots are a type of spherical robot that navigates by rolling. Their primary mode of locomotion involves actively controlling the movement of an internal mass to shift the robot's center of gravity, inducing a roll. This allows them to move across various terrains, including smooth surfaces and somewhat uneven ground. The design of ballbots often prioritizes compactness and maneuverability.
The internal mechanism typically consists of a motor that drives a heavy rotor or a system of
Ballbots have applications in areas such as exploration, reconnaissance, and entertainment. Their unique form factor allows
