Is this yet another robot using Segway-like transportation?

A while back there was a post about a Japanese person standing on a platform with no CS and she would lean forward to go just like a Segway. Must be that base.

Anyone else remember?

I remember a vid clip of someone in a crowed room, cruising around. If I recall, steering was assumed to be by leaning, then someone noticed a wired remote in the rider's hand...

Each road you travel should be just a bit better for having had you pass.

This is what I've been saying people should do for like a year and a half.

Forget legs and feet on robots, use wheel balancing technology!
