Look at the robot acrobat on two wheels: it jumps and does not fall

Robotics X Lab, the parent company of Tencent, showed a new development - a two-wheeled acrobat robot

Ollie.

Its main advantage is its two wheels, which allow it to move quickly on flat terrain, completely silently. This robot can jump steps and overcome other obstacles.

The car can drive (including over rough terrain) and maintain balance, as well as jump up to a height of up to 60 cm and a length of 40 cm, and turn 360 degrees. 

In development there is a complex of motion trajectory planning for moving along a given complex route, including simple jumps and even jumps with flips in the air.
