Intro to Robotics blog 36

Cubli


Skim the article and watch the video in the article. Then answer the questions below.

What is used to balance the cube on its corners?
Name 3 things this cube can do?
How does the cube go from a resting position to a balancing position?
What are the applications of the cube?

  1. 1.A non-linear controller keeps the reaction wheels at an angular velocity of 0.
    2.It can balance on its' corner, go from a resting position to a balancing position by itself, and have controlled falls.
    3.The momentum wheel brakes, transferring the momentum to the body of the cube.
    4. Planetary exploration, self-assembling robot

  2. high powered rotary motors (not sure if that was the right word)
    balance, like INSANE balance, jump, and transverse a surface.
    specific algorithm programmed similar to that of a satellite
    balance and potentially space exploration.

    however it doesn't seem like a very efficient way to explore space or planetary surfaces.

  3. 1.Momentum wheels.
    2.It can jumping up, balanc, and even “walk”.
    3.It keep enough energy and sudden release it.
    4.For playing and give some idea of physical science.

  4. a non linear controller, it can jump, walk, and balance, from the wheel in the cube that spins, exploring planets.

  5. It uses a controller. It can stand up on it's side, on it's corner, and it can move around. It has modified bike brakes, which transfer momentum. For self assembling robots and planetary exploration.

  6. It can jump up, balance, and "walk." It goes from a resting to a balancing position by quickly braking the brakes, cause the momentum to transfer, jumping it into a balancing position. The applications are for planetary explorations, or for self assembling robots.

  7. Controllers keep the cube at a velocity of 0. it can balance on its corners, on its side, and "walk". by transferring momentum to on end or corner of its structure. planetary exploration and, a self assembling robot.

  8. It uses a controller to keep the wheel thing spinning
    it can "walk" jump, and stand on its edge
    the wheel spins then stops and it moves the cube
    it can space exploration and manufacturing robot

  9. 1.It is non-linear controller.
    2.it can balance on it's corner, balancing by itself, and have control falls.
    3.The momentum wheel breaks.
    4.Self-control robot.

  10. There are multiple ways to keep a cube in its balance, but jumping up requires a sudden release of energy Furthermore, the same momentum wheels can be used to implement a reaction-torque based control algorithm for balancing by exploiting the reaction torques on the cube’s body when the wheels are accelerated or decelerated.

  11. A nonlinear controller in used to balance the cubli on its corners. The cubli can balance on its corner while rejecting disturbances, rotate while balancing, and balance on its edge. It goes from resting to balancing because the momentum wheels can rotate at a very high angular velocities and build up sufficient angular momentum. A rapid rapid breaking up of the wheel alows it to go from a resting positions to a balancing position. The cube is sued for planetary exploration.

  12. The reaction wheels move at certain speeds to keep it balanced. The cube can balance on its point, on its side, and walk. The wheel stops abruptly, jolting the cube onto its side and then speeds up almost instantly to regain balance. Planetary exploration and for fun. Colin
