Most self-balancing robots use some sort of circuitry like gyroscopes or accelerometers to keep them upright. Some bots however, can achieve nearly the same effect by far less complicated means. Meet ...
Enhanced stability The backpack, known as GyroPack, uses gyroscopic technology to improve balance for people with the movement disorder ataxia. (Courtesy: Delft University of Technology) A robotic ...
The modern smartphone is only possible because of sensors. Their svelte form factor conceals accelerometers, magnetometers, temperature sensors, a GPS unit, and gyroscopes. They all consume volume and ...
