Rezero is a compact ballbot developed as an educational project at the Autonomous Systems Lab, ETH Zurich. Similar in size and shape to a human, it balances on a single spherical wheel like an inverted pendulum, enabling fluid omnidirectional movement, instant acceleration, obstacle avoidance, path following, person tracking, and recovery from jostles. Ideal for crowded environments like tradeshows, restaurants, offices, and airports.
