Aido was developed by Ingen Dynamics in Palo Alto to be the next generation of home robots. The company launched the robot earlier this year using an Indiegogo campaign and is hoping to ship units before the end of 2016. Aido uses a ball design where a solitary ball in the base and an algorithm balancing forces between the base of the unit and the ball. If a sudden force is applied that will move the robot more than eight degrees out of center small stabilizer legs extend from the body to stabilize the unit. The legs also extend when Aido is in one place for longer periods of time and during charging.
