This aluminum-framed robot looks like a circus animal swinging on a balloon, but is stabilized by active motors that maintain vertical stance.

This is an invention of Carnegie Mellon University's Ralph Hollis who is considered a pioneer in the field of human interaction.

Experts say Ballbot will help care and make friends with the disabled and the elderly in the United States.
