Balance and navigation at the highest level: the impressive capabilities of a robot bike with AI demonstrated
The Robotics and AI Institute has shared a video of an impressive robotic bike that can jump and balance without a special stabilisation system.
What's known
Pre-trained with AI, the two-wheeled robotic bike maintains its balance by controlling its speed and direction. It is surprising how deftly the device keeps its balance and how easily it jumps to the height of a table without significant acceleration. Robo-bike is clearly orientated in space and does not crash into surrounding objects, can ride backwards and is practically silent.
Of course, this is a prototype and there is no talk of mass production.
It is still difficult to assume where such a "robot biker" can be used, but it seems that it would do a good job as a courier.
Note that the Institute of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence was founded by Marc Raibert, the creator of Boston Dynamics (Marc Raibert).
