  Unicycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Unicycles comprise a few key parts: the wheel and axle, the frame, the seat, and cranks and pedals.
Unicycles are thought to descend from the penny-farthing bicycles of the late 19th century.
Unicycles have traditionally had circus connotations, but in recent years unicycles have gained a following as a means of everyday transportation.

 Unicycle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Unicycles comprise a few key parts: the wheel and hub(axle), the frame, the seat, and cranks and pedals.
Unicycles use direct drive, with the crank's rotation directly connected to that of the wheel, although some modern unicycles are using gears in the hub to increase riding distance.
Unicycle Hockey is a growing niche sport, with 5 members on each team and played with ice-hockey sticks and a street hockey ball or a deadened tennis ball as favoured by the Germans (some clubs have been known to use a puck).

 Robotic unicycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The problem of creating a robotic unicycle, a self-powered unicycle that balances itself in three dimensions, is an interesting problem in robotics and control theory.
The theoretical work on the unicycle problem is complemented by work on the construction of actual mechanically ridden unicycles.
Note: the term "unicycle" is also sometimes used in robotics to mean a generalised cart or car moving in a two-dimensional world.

 Robot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The first known functioning robot was created in the 1738 by Jacques de Vaucanson, who made an android that played the flute, as well as a mechanical duck that reportedly ate and defecated.
With robots a reality and intelligent robots a likely prospect, a better understanding of interactions between robots and human is embodied in such modern films as Spielberg's A.I. (movie) (2001) and Proyas' I, Robot (2004).
Many consider the first robot in the modern sense to be a teleoperated boat, similar to a modern ROV, devised by Nikola Tesla and demonstrated at an 1898 exhibition in Madison Square Garden.

Kangaroo unicycles : unicycles with an off-center wheel and cranks that face the same direction.
Coaster Uni : a unicycle where the hub freewheels, giving a cross between a traditional unicycle (where one pedals to maintain forward velocity and balance) and an impossible wheel (where instead of standing on pegs or platforms, the rider stops pedalling and stands on the pedals.)

The wheel is the main part of the unicycle; it is essentially a bicycle wheel with a special hub so that the frame and cranks can attach to the side (Direct Drive).
Monowheel: a large wheel in which the rider sits inside(like a Hamster Wheel) and either pedals an internal drive or is motorized.
It is not plagued by the normal unicycle balance problems because of the greater gyroscopic properties.

 Robot control - Wikpedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Robot control is the theory of how to model and control robots.
A simplistic model of a robot is to look at as a collection of links connected by joints.
For example, for a robot to weld in a straight line, the actuators in the joints of the robot have to be controlled in complex manner.

The problem of creating a robotic unicycle that "rides itself" whilst balancing itself in three dimensions is an interesting problem in robotics and control theory.
Note: the term "unicycle" is also sometimes used in robotics to mean a two-wheeled vehicle moving in a two-dimensional world: this article is about normal one-wheeled cycles, albeit with robotic riders.

I used to ride a unicycle; rather I recall practicing for three hours one night and managing to wheel across a parking lot without falling.
I naively assumed that that skill had been fully incorporated and I would be able to step up on my unicycle and pedal off into the distance.
I practiced on my new unicycle for 30 minutes last night and I managed to trundle exactly four feet, so that when I fell over backwards my ass was planted exactly where I started.

Riding a unicycle typically takes between 10 and 15 days at the least to learn, unless one has an inherent natural ability for riding one.
Compared to a bicycle, the rider must maintain balance in two dimensions rather than one, and at slower speeds steering motions need to be exaggerated.
