1. A robot controllable by a portable device, the robot comprising:
a support comprising a longitudinal axis; a base mounted to the support, the base defining a tilt axis and a roll axis perpendicular the tilt axis, the base comprising:
a first wheel coaxially aligned with a second wheel along a wheel axis parallel the tilt axis;a first motor drivably coupled to the first and second wheel;a processor configured to balance the robot about the tilt axis by maintaining the longitudinal axis within a predetermined range of tilt angles relative to a plane comprising the tilt axis and a gravity vector, based on a set of inertial sensor data; anda balancing module configured to balance the robot about the roll axis.
