Walking / Flying Robot Stabilizer that really works.

After years of experiments on different ways to build a Centrifuge machine that would be used as a ‘Stabilizer’ for walking/flying ‘Robots’ without using huge amounts of computer power and sophisticated computer driven manipulation of energy hungry drive motors to keep the Robot standing upright, and hopefully this machine would also enable the robot to walk up and down rough terrain hills by itself. I have finely cracked it. But I can no longer proceed with my work as all the money for a prototype has been exhausted.
It is difficult to imagine with the brain how this works, but if you have ever spun the front bicycle wheel and then turned the handle bars, you can feel there is resistance coming from Centrifuge. This resistance gave me the idea of replacing the spokes on the wheel with springs so that when the handle bars are turned, the spinning wheel or weights (Hub being replaced with indiviual weights) will try and stay rotating where they are, and this action forced coming from the springs against the force of Centrifuge, will cause a reaction force back into the handlebars and the handlebars will be pushed back to where they were before.
Put this mechanism in the body of a Robot and it would take a constant forceful motion to push the robot over because the rotating weights will resist that command, until they have been forced to comply with that order.
See what I mean? No? Yeah I know, it’s mind numbing, but it definitily works!.
