Claim Text:
1. A two-wheel gyroscope-stabilized vehicle, comprising: a body; a left wheel and a right wheel; a supporting structure that connects the body and the wheels so that the body is supported by the wheels; two wheel drives, each of the wheel drives connected with a corresponding wheel of the left wheel and the right wheel to drive the corresponding wheel; a gyroscope, comprising a gyroscope rotor and a gyroscope frame, wherein the gyroscope frame is rotatably mounted on the body; at least one angle sensor mounted on the body so as to detect the gyroscope frame rotation relative to the body; a control system adapted to receive a signal transmitted by the at least one angle sensor and control rotational velocities of the wheels according to the signal; wherein the supporting structure is adapted to move the wheels in relation to each other and to move the wheels in relation to the body independently thereof; the control system is further adapted to apply a torque to the gyroscope frame; and wherein axes of rotation of the wheels lie in a first vertical plane and the gyroscope frame is mounted on the body so that an axis of rotation of the frame lies in a second vertical plane which is perpendicular to said first vertical plane, wherein the gyroscope rotor is rotatably mounted in the gyroscope frame so that an axis of rotation of the rotor is perpendicular to said axis of rotation of the frame.
