Gyrubot: biped walking blindfolded

We propose to use auxiliary stabilization devices to reduce requirements on drives used for articulations. Gyrubot is built to challenge the idea: * Low-end (2k€) servos * Simplest 2-DoF leg design * Control moment gyroscope (CMG) for balancing / steering * No vision, no sensing! * Walks perfectly blindfolded! In this video we see the experiment described in section IV-a of the paper: the robot is able to walk “blindfolded“ over small obstacles; no any kind of vision/remote sensing is used.
