Self-Balancing Cube, Exhibiton opening in the Ars Electronica Center Linz

February 9, 2017

JKU Cube AEC

The exhibition "Creative Robotics" shows industrial robots away from their natural habitat, the factory halls, and deals with them as a tool of creative expression.
Our JKU Cube can also be admired at the AEC Linz until March 12, 2017. Balancing on a tip, the cube is difficult to move from its position, as it independently compensates for external disturbances and changes in its surroundings. The physical basis of this principle is the conservation of angular momentum, which is also used in satellites.
