We propose to use auxiliary stabilization devices to reduce requirements on drives used for articulations. Gyrubot is built to challenge the idea:
* Low-end (2k€) servos
* Simplest 2-DoF leg design
* Control moment gyroscope (CMG) for balancing / steering
* No vision, no sensing!
* Walks perfectly blindfolded!

In this video we see the experiment described in section IV-a of the paper: the robot is able to walk "blindfolded" over small obstacles; no any kind of vision/remote sensing is used.
