Robots On Unicycle
Submitted by Alafista on Wednesday, 24 September 20083 Comments
Its already very tough for any human to ride a unicycle, but Murata Industrial has developed robots which can cycle on bicycle and unicycle.
There is a small chip in the robots that prevents them from falling by detecting the degree of leaning of the robot. So it will be able to somehow keep itself balanced.
The 2 robots are called “Seiko” and “Seisaku” and the company had spent 30,000,000 yen over a period of 6 months to develop them.

Sad to say, I can’t even cycle myself. But these robots just seem like really fun toys. LOL
So it’s a segway with a robot built in?
The human race knows no bounds when it comes to developing fun yet usless things^^
that guy in the last pic is like “daw, i wish i could ride a unicycle”
