Segway Robot

Segway

Transportation device that can transform into a personal helper follows the self-balancing mechanism using gyro stabilization, which users can steer using their legs and can reach a top speed of 18 km/h and it can travel up to 30 kilometers. Once activated, a tilting screen at the top turns 90 degrees to becomes the device’s head and displays two circles to look like eyes. Arms can emerge from its sides for it to handle objects and perform tasks like helping to carry shopping. The head features with five cameras, three for depth-sensing, a fisheye lens for tracking and a standard photography camera. These multiple cameras pair with sensors to enable a Track and Follow mode, so the device can continue to roll along behind the rider once they have disembarked. A microphone can pick up voice commands from anywhere in the room. The device is also capable of connecting with other smart hardware.
