Thanks, Rupert! And here's another video, showing a humanoid robot riding a
bicycle. Of interest here is that its developer states in the video that
the robot uses PID control to keep its balance:

Not sure if this has been posted before, but the attached paper should be of
interest, though I haven't read it yet.

Here's a video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6pPwP3s7s4.

Great Rupert. Thanks.

Very clever device . But it wouldn’t do very well with a Frisbee, would it;-)

It’ s actually a combination of predictive and input control. We could help them but they might not welcome our help.

RM: Now that is an input (gyroscopically perceived tilt) control system! Beautiful!
