PAW
Self-balancing platform
A compact platform that balances on two wheels, demonstrated on flat surfaces.
- Two driven wheels, one on each leg
- Carry handle, compact body
- Balancing demonstrated on flat surfaces
- Mechanical CAD and working prototype
The project
Where it stands
The platform
PAW is a compact self-balancing platform: a body with a carry handle on two wheels, each wheel on its own leg.
Self-balancing prototype
The prototype balances on flat surfaces. The mechanical CAD and the working prototype match.
What comes next
Uneven ground. The legs are there so the platform can adapt to terrain, and that is the work ahead.
