Summary:The Industrial Electronics Laboratory at the Swiss Federal
Institute of Technology, Lausanne, Switzerland, has built a prototype of
a revolutionary two-wheeled vehicle. Due to its configuration with two
coaxial wheels, each of which is coupled to a DC motor, the vehicle is
able to do stationary U-turns. A control system, made up of two
decoupled state-space controllers, pilots the motors so as to keep the
system in equilibrium
