Abstract
A stabilization method incorporated with a mobile robot having a body, a plane-pressure sensor, and a movement mechanism is disclosed and includes the following steps: sensing and obtaining a pressure distribution of the body through the plane-pressure sensor; computing a center of gravity (CoG) position of the body in accordance with the pressure distribution; determining whether the CoG position is located within a steady zone pre-defined upon the body; and, providing a reverse force toward a CoG offset direction of the CoG position when the CoG position is determined to be off the steady zone.
