Two Wheels?
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? John |

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...
