AI-Powered Balance Robots

The Microsoft 'Project Moab' Robot Learns How to Balance Objects

The Microsoft 'Project Moab' robot has been developed in partnership with Fresh Consulting as a solution that shows off the capabilities of the tech brand's artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The robot maintains a design that is somewhat unassuming with a rounded base and a plate glass upper section, but makes use of advanced machine learning and AI to show off the complexities of what's possible. The unit is thus capable of the seemingly simple task of balancing a ball on the top surface, which shows off the non-intimidating capabilities of the system.

The Microsoft 'Project Moab' robot was designed and created as a true product rather than a hack or DIY project, which kept commercial capabilities in mind with the potential for retail in the future.
