Impressive programming and design

The video above is simply amazing.  Let's face it, humans can find learning how to ride a bike a challenge.  Why?  There are a lot of things happening at the same time that are all inter-related.  Steering, pedal force varies by where you are in the rotation and can vary on either side.  In short, it is very complex.  Riding a bike uses  the human's "inner ear" for balance control.  The robot uses a gyro to manage balance.  In short, this is very impressive programming.  And, it uses that silly PID we are going to learn someday.

Anything is possible!
