Star Wars' new robot BB-8 on the stage
- SocksCanClose 11y agoDoes anybody know the company they're talking about? Does the top piece use some sort of gyro-stabilized magnetic control system?
- codeulike 11y agoI would say the sphere has a counterweight system and separate magnet system to link with the head (because the robot is able to move its head to the side without moving when it needs to). I'd imagine there's magnets in the sphere and head, and the head has powerered wheels/rollers as well. Its a very sophisticated trick.
- codeulike 11y agoI hear that Neal Scanlan was involved in BB-8, so it might be his effects group - http://www.nsstudio.co.uk/index.htm http://www.nsstudio.co.uk/index.htm

For example a spherical ball-thingy (sphero) you can move/control with your smartphone.
