In the ever developing world that we live in, machines perform their task faster, better, more precise, cheaper, etc. every year. The improvements in a lot of mechanisms are inspired by the natural behavior of animals and humans. While falling off a balance beam, the human instinct let an arm or leg accelerate in the opposite direction of the fall to find balance. The principle that the vestibular system and muscles work together to keep the body static and dynamic actively balanced works quite well. Although, making a coloring page on a roller coaster is a challenge for the control system of the human body. Nowadays, mechanisms in the world around us are desired to perform even better than the human is doing.
