dFlex Segway Robot

A new robot from Yaya Lu down in Australia was brought to our attention recently.  She has built the first dFlex Segway prototype.  While still in prototype, she has a very cool looking self-balancing robot that smacks of the Segway and uses the dFlex to detect it’s position.  This is her first build and uses a “bang-bang” control loop; she has plans to improve it with a PID control soon.

The project can be seen about halfway down her page.

You can watch a quick video she made of the robot here.
