Obvious joke, can you depend on a pendulum in the absence of, or variable gravity/accelerations? Actually, I'd think a 3D pendulum might be useful for inertial navigation in aerial or naval applications. I'd guess accelerometers are the SoTA for this, and a disturbed pendulum "swing" may well provide better or additional input to the feedback loop. | |||

At first I didn't understand. Then I saw it balance two legs and I thought that's nice. But can it do all three. Man, that's pretty good. I'd like to know the logic of how it does that balancing act. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Absolutely. Nozzle gimbaling.  He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||
