High performance driving of the Remote control Segway (a self balancing robot).




This video shows the self-balancing robot spinning as it drives. All that the user needs to do is use the remote control to command direction and turning direction. The microcontroller does the rest.

This is a remote control Segway (a mini self balancing robot), named the Teetering Buffalo, built at Georgia Tech by graduate students Adam Cardi, Aaron Enes, and Matt Wagner.
