Corsin Gwerder and Lukas Limacher are students at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. They are part of an interdiscplinary team that developed Rezero, the prototype of a stunning ballbot.
A Ballbot moves on a single ball, not on wheels. This is both astonishing and creates a new means of mobility for robots. A Ballbot can move spontaneously in any direction and does so in a manner as smooth and elegant as a figure skater on ice. Whether used as a guide, a toy, a service robot or a daily aid, a Ballbot can prove its potential in a narrow, varying and crowded environment.
