Here is a video demonstrating the dynamics loop. The IMU produces a gravity vector that is then used to compute if the SmallKat is tipping over. To the degree that it is tipped off its axis, the dynamics controller applies a counter Coriolis force by spinning the head and tail counter to the tipping direction.
