Robots that can stand and walk under their own volition are nothing new. We've seen plenty of robots that can run around, do acrobatics, and even teach college classes. But this robot is different. The Ballbot robot is able to balance itself on one ball, moving around slowly and even staying upright when getting pushed around. The amazing balancing robot was developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University as a new way of having robots interact with people. While most robots have either clunky legs or a wide wheelbase, the Ballbot can roll itself around any flat surface easily, without taking up space or needing lots of room to get around.
