Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media applicable to balancing robots. Some implementations are directed to maintaining a given end effector pose (relative to a world frame) of an end effector of a balancing robot when there is a disturbance to a balancing base of the balancing robot. Some implementations are additionally or alternatively directed to transitioning a balancing robot from a fallen configuration to a balanced configuration. Some implementations are additionally or alternatively directed to mitigating the risk that a balancing robot will fall when interacting with actuable environmental objects (e.g., doors) and/or to lessen the disturbance to a balancing base when interacting with actuable environmental objects.
