ANYONE?
I
wish it were all this easy. If it were, then Segway
(the person mover) would be a toy you could buy at “Toys
Be Us” for about $100. After all, it only deals with
balance in one direction. The algorithm that must be
employed for the success of this experimental platform
needs refinement. And, although the software needs tweaking,
I’ve also been thinking about alternative sensors and
joint mechanics. So much to do, so little time.
I
hope this project sparks your imagination, because as
soon as the fuse is lit, you’re going for a ride. And,
as luck would have it, knowledge doesn’t necessarily
come from success, but through the process of striving
for it.
