You stay upright despite all clumsiness thanks to its two tilt sensors and five gyroscopes, oriented so that at least two of the gyroscopes sense and correct for any angular motion.

FORBES: A Standing Ovation

Freespace Sensor Modules are used by engineers to add inertial motion control to a product without having to learn about motion sensing or MEMS. These compact modules, the smallest of which is 9mm x 19mm x 2.5mm, are pre-calibrated for mass production, provide a well-documented API for interpreting motion, and provide data such as cursor position, linear acceleration, angular position, and angular velocity to enable the creation of novel applications.
