#2About the most fascinating thing I read all week.

#4This is a really easy read if folks are looking for easy-to-digest papers!
From the results:
> Although the two-neuron network controller works well for a range of speeds, one thing the controller does not do is to try to dampen the instabilities that can arise when riding too slowly or in too sharp of a turn. (This would probably require a third neuron that is dedicated to this task.)

Unfortunately, the videos linked in the paper seem to have disappeared. Are these mirrored anywhere?

They work, but the tilde character in the pdf is wrong. Try this: http://www.paradise.caltech.edu/~cook/Warehouse/RecursiveBik...

#7I've only flown through the paper, but one question : why is it so hard for humans to learn how to ride a bicycle? I mean I do remember it to be pretty challenging.

#8Does a Raspberry Pi have enough computing power to run these two neurons in the real world? Could I attach motors and sensors to a real bike and have it drive itself? That would be amazing.

If by drive you mean not fall over, yes. If you mean actual routing, avoiding collisions and reacting to unexpected situations, very much no.

Yes of course. But if your goal is to make a robot bike there are better algorithms than this one.
