Ballbot: One is Enough

"One is Enough!"

I found this great PDF that can be reached on the Ballbot from Carnegie Mellon University research. It is a single ball drive instead of multi-wheel robot. I think this might be the future of office robotics since it can move in any direction at any time at any moment. If it needs to ride an elevator it could also do that, and if it needs to stand still it simply puts down a tripod. Great idea!
