Abstract: For 3D walking control of a biped robot we analyze the dynamics of a 3D inverted pendulum in which motion is constrained to move along an arbitrarily defined plane. This analysis yields a ...

In this video, we break down the physics behind clay pendulum balls and their collisions. Learn about momentum, energy transfer, and how these simple systems can explain key concepts in ...

Abstract: In this paper, the dynamic model of a wheeled inverted pendulum (e.g., Segway, Quasimoro, and Joe) is analyzed from a controllability and feedback linearizability point of view. First, a ...

The pendulum at the museum is attached to a 61-foot-long cable. It typically swings as the Earth rotates, knocking down pegs, until it suddenly stopped this month. The Houston Museum of Natural ...
