Bipedal hobby robot walks a tightrope
October 23, 2012
A Japanese roboticist that goes by the handle Dr. Guero, famous for programming his hobby robot to ride a miniature bicycle and walk on stilts, has managed to get his robot to balance on a tightrope.
The video shows Dr. Guero’s robot as it slides its way along the wire, making minute adjustments to its balance by waving its arms, based on signals from its inclination sensor.

Excuse me. Mr. Robot, were you scared? ……. What is scared? Just think, this is just the beginning, and this is just a hobby robot. In z short while they will be able to do the most amazing things.
