Meet Rezero, the dancing ballbot

Rezero, a pioneering ballbot, showcases the elegance of instability, turning a single point of contact into dynamic movement.

Beyond practicality, Rezero embodies the fusion of technology and art, inspiring a reimagining of robotics' role in our daily lives.

Rezero, a ballbot, uses its instability to glide dynamically, offering potential for interactive displays and medical aid.
