I've often thought about doing something like this. It's great you've actually done it!

I always envisioned controlling it with my Android phone (which has inertial sensors but no rate gyros), and setting them free to explore...

Like with small children, it's probably best they can't open their own doors, at least at first.

Not bad at all. Great effort.

¿Es su proyecto? Es un buen comienzo. ¿Pero, cuál es la razón? ¿Cuál es su propósito?

OMG! It's alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's really cool. Well done. You have built your own robotic mobility platform.

I was reading an article in Wired Mag this morning:

Are you employing something like this?

Es un proyecto de Investigacion. El objetivo es convertir el segway en una plataforma robótica. De momento la controlamos con un joystick o desde un ordenador exterior y con una camara on board podemos teleoperarlo. El siguiente paso es colocarle sensores como laser, camaras, etc,para que pueda navegar solo.

We are working with kinect too, creating maps, slam....In the researching group where i work. It`s a interesting field for developing.

Obviously, we can't have infinite voltage, or the universe would tear itself to shreds, and we wouldn't be discussing Segways.
