Cubli is a cube-shaped robot that can jump up, balance on a single corner, and "walk" itself across a desk, all using off-the-shelf parts. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get ...

We’ve seen drones pull off some amazing stunts, like pirouetting through the air while assembling a building brick by brick. But there is something so much more poignant about Cubli, a cube that can ...

A cunning combination of reaction wheels, brushless DC motors, motor controllers, sensors, and a processor allow the Cubli to stand up, balance on a corner, and “walk” across the room I often reflect ...

A team of researchers out of ETH Zurich’s Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control have created a unique robotic system unlike anything seen before. Referred to as “Cubli”, this cube-based-bot can ...

Back in October, we heard about MIT's M-Blocks – they're metal cubes that use internal flywheels to hurl themselves around, sticking together magnetically to form simple structures. Now, scientists ...

Cubli is a clever little cube that uses reaction wheels to jump, balance and “walk” across stationary and dynamic surfaces alike. It reminds us a lot of MIT’s M ...

"The Cubli is a 15 × 15 × 15 cm cube that can jump up and balance on its corner. Reaction wheels mounted on three faces of the cube rotate at high angular velocities and then brake suddenly, causing ...

Cubli is a cube that can balance on a corner or edge or walk around by flipping over its edge or can be ordered to have a smooth fall. The cube, six inches in length, was developed by researchers at ...

The Cubli was developed at the ETH Zurich’s Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control, chiefly by Mohanarajah Gajamohan and Raffaello D’Andrea. The cube features three “reaction wheels” mounted on the ...

Meet Cubli! Cubli is a 15 x 15 x 15cm robotic cube that can roll around and balance on its corners using a series of gyroscopes. The project has been going strong since February 2011 at the Institute ...
