Realization of a human riding a unicycle by a robot
@article{Sheng1995RealizationOA, title={Realization of a human riding a unicycle by a robot}, author={Zaiquan Sheng and Kazuo Yamafuji}, journal={Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation}, year={1995}, volume={2}, pages={1319-1326 vol.2} }
The authors describe a unicycle robot. By using a new method for detecting the posture of the robot in three dimensions, the authors conducted experiments on this robot under the proposed control method. The robot's posture is stabilized successfully both in longitudinal and in lateral directions in three dimensions. And the experimental results show that the proposed model and control method are effective and active for emulating a human riding a unicycle system. The authors believe that this…
